There was a big drain of experience at the time, and it's my understanding and belief that those poor guys and the rest of the crew were, at least in part, set up by them having to step up to the role of 'squadron expert' at an accellerated rate.
Sad losses ... anyway, Blogsey, what I'm getting at is that the large experience exodus at the time was a factor in that crash, to my mind at least.
