LyndaV, welcome to the thread (and indeed to PPRuNe!). Would that it were in happier circumstances. No doubt you are familiar with this site:-
XD864 but others such as I will be struck with the similarities revealed between the BoIs of Chinook HC2 ZD576 and Valiant BK1 XD864. Technical evidence at the crash site (a fractured centre plane spar in the case of XD864) and previously known problems experienced in operation ignored in favour of a case against Captain and Crew produced by insinuation and sweeping statements. It's deja-vu all over again, Brian!
Of all the places that this allegedly overconfident Captain elects to crash his allegedly airworthy aircraft, he chooses a disused airfield finishing up just off its runway 14! Black eye or feather in cap? I know what looks more appropriate to me.
