I've built a balsa wood spitfire from scratch and have flown and landed it with great skill. Later I will be back to tell you all the facts according to my qualified mind. You will be able to close this thread then.
First I must go to Ludlow though where I intend to swap a cow for some magic beans at the market
only happened because of his actions.
At least SpookyFrank agrees with you and he's a trained pilot, dontcha know?few years inside.
The PIlot was in command of the Aircraft he was flying no bad weather no mechanical fault he entered the loop too low and too slow g loc or cognitive impairment
if I accidently fired a machine gun into a crowd and killed 11 people a defence of I was cognitively impaired would be bollocks as this is.

Shush. He’s a trained pilot.
We were up visiting my parents near Peebles when the plane went down at Lockerbie. Driving South on the way home we drove over the new tarmac that had been laid a few days earlier. The tarmac was there for years, as a poignant reminder, until the whole road was resurfaced.I've mentioned before that this was a big thing around here, I had family at the airshow, and could see the smoke from my back garden.
We're on the border between both BBC South & BBC South-East, and last night watched the local news for both regions, and this story was the only one covered during the half-hour local news on both.
They had in-depth interviews with the families of a couple of those that died, and from witnesses that were on the A27 at the time & had very lucky escapes - all very touching. I feel so sorry for the families, that have basically only got partial closure from this verdict.
They also showed footage I don't recall seeing before, with the plane going down, just cutting out a few seconds before impact, and returning straight after with the fireball & smoke - it sent a shudder down my back.
Apparently it's been 60 years since a member of public has died as a result of an accident at any airshow in the UK, the Shoreham Airshow has been going over 25 years and has raised over £2m for charity, and this amazing safely record & fund raising event, enjoyed by many hundreds of thousands of people over the years, has been fucked by the actions of one twat.
And, it still plays on the minds of the local community, I often have to drive past the airport, I usually take the A259 to the south, but when I take the A27 to the north, it hits me every time I drive over the crash scene, clearly marked with new tarmac, not sure how long it'll take to get over that, probably never for the families & friends of those that died, and indeed the emergency & other services that had to deal with the scene.
One of the Old Girls at the school where I teach in the summer was on that flight. Every time I see the memorial there it gives me a little shiver down my spine. I hope she died in the initial explosion so didn't have to suffer what is to me incomprehensible.
Decompressible even.
He should have flown with a trained pilot such as yourself.
Says the “trained pilot”.
Had a fab burger in the Queens
Thanks Frankie. The thread needed a bit of help so I delayed my journey and spared the time to contribute.
