The Police question/arrest many as you need to ascertain IF the evidence need to be sent to the CPS who review the evidence and advise if prosecution is in the public interest.
The same here is done in car accidents/RTAs they do arrest then question. As far as I am aware Andy Hill took himself to a police station before Christmas to make a statement and has not been arrested.
Brilliant, Thank you
I certainly wasn’t intending to imply any guilt, that as it has been said is for the courts to decide.
It was not aimed at you Sir, but we know some are happy to point fingers so I was asking that they refrain.
I think the AAIB report may not be to far away now.
Five of the warbirds that were to have displayed are today shown as withdawn from the event according to their website.

Seafire has been out a while, US I think.
It landed at Cambridge, maybe to clear customs or for fuel
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.
Looks like Gnat G-MOUR out and about over the Essex countryside as I type its passed S of me
Ahhh a Model, yes the grass blades do look a little large
This is a route that would have to be taken as part of the investigation and of course does not mean any guilt implied as it would need to be proved in a court of law and both side putting their evidence to a jury.
I feel now the tabloids will have a bit of a field day with this but at this time the pilot Andy Hill is not guilty of anything and we still have the AAIB reports to be completed.
Please can this topic not start finger pointing at anyone.

Hmmm me smells a rat
I notice on FR24 that a Beech 3NM and a Beech 18 heading N towards the french coast, both at 10000 feet ! but about 20 miles apart.

Beech 3nm is N21FS
&
Beech 18 N223CM
Both very shiny

Thank you Matthias for your updates, always an education.
And do you know the territory or the one running out of sky then to drop on to those rocks without to much damage by the look of it?
I still think he did well to plop it on the stones rather than obliteration the aeroplane ?
but what do I know sitting at my PC at zero feet with a cuppa !
