Congratulations on a happy end to this saga! Any pics to share? 😉

Many thanks to DCW, Pen Pusher, Duxman and all the other regulars and irregulars for all the updates, scoops and jaw-dropping photography. Here’s to 2017, and Happy New Year!

Seeing the Sea Vixen going round the bend at OW, and finally getting to see the Fury, at Legends. Think those two top it for me. Very jealous of everyone’s flights!

The thing I really want to see “over here” on loan is a B-47.
As for the Spitfire, why not send one to Pima? As others have said it’s hardly a backyard museum with a few mouldering airframes. Still, I can see the point about it bring the FR14 instead of something more commonplace though.

What a stunner!

Thanks for the heads-up!
In celebration here’s a shot of the OW example I took at the last airshow 🙂

Police investigation and AAIB are two completely different agencies and the police have to be involved due to the deaths of the bystanders.
Obviously their may be criminal proceedings if found anyone is to blame and not just a very sad accident.

True, but surely the point is that the police aren’t necessarily qualified to judge what caused the accident (and thus decide whether there’s a ground for criminal proceedings) until the AAIB report is out? Just seems like jumping the gun – after all we can’t yet rule out some cause for the accident that has nothing to do with the actions of the pilot. When the report is out, and if it should become clear that pilot error caused the accident, then obviously there’s a case for bringing manslaughter charges.
