David,
Maybe I didn’t word my last posting very well, I think the flying was irresponsible, equally the TV or film Co must have asked for the flying to be that way & that was irresponsible too. A forum for me is an area to discuss items not to just have items of no consequence posted, what is wrong with discussing the Firefly crash? It is by discussing & getting other peoples views that most accident investigations work their craft. Over the years I have sat on several air accident investigations both civil & military in the UK & Europe & the least little thing has been taken into account, by listening to eye witness accounts you learn a lot especially if you are not at the site where the incident took place. Hope that clears up a few points! Cheers.

Having just viewed the clip It is a seriously irresponsible bit of flying & I don’t care WHO was in the seat! If you want to add fuel to the anti-brigade this is it with bells & whistles, at that altitude you cannot see much ahead in level flight (having sat in a Mk9 in the rigging position you can see nothing forward past the spinner for some wayahead) how no one was injured was a miracle! No wonder it was removed from the thread.

I also feel that to post a short cut to the offending item Is also irresponsible & just about as daft!

We have to remember our position of ‘enthusiastic amateur’ and leave the investigation to those most capable of coming to the correct conclusion.

With the greatest of respect, You may have a position as an ‘enthusiastic amateur’ however my position is as an ‘enthusiastic professional ‘ I have over 20 (paid to be there) years with Airshow aircraft & Airshows and over that length of time you get to know when things are right & when things are marginal! I have said before on this forum that unless you personally know who is posting, you never can tell who is who, or what they do, so I think a little mutual respect is called for here rather than just discarding postings out of hand, it is not just ‘Amateurs’ who post here, maybe if people read what is written & not what they want to read then everyone may learn something about aviation & old aeroplanes. It seems sometimes that there are some very narrow minded postings like– I only like XYZ type of aircraft & hate all others, what is that all about? most of us left that back in Infants school! Tolerance is a fine quality that is sadly disappearing in this day & age, we have (or should have) a common bond here, Aviation, lets keep it a bond rather than a lot of individuals.
And, by the way,Some of us DO know what we are talking about. 😉

Very poor taste, armchair expert

It’s very difficult to know who does what within aviation on here sometimes but just now & again someone who knows drops in & then back out again, smiling about the ‘so called expert enthusiast’
of course, you know who you are! 😉
