This one presumably? - http://www.pprune.org/private-flying...uckingham.html

Just reading about that in the latest bulletin. I suppose they can only tell when the text actually transmitted, not when it was written or when the send button was pressed.

AAIB bulletin here: http://www.aaib.gov.uk/publications/...wk__g_bnde.cfm

Implications pretty clear...I guess they are just not allowed to state it.

Indeed - the AAIB investigate the accident, it will be up to the coroner to determine cause of death

Reading the previous linked thread, truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.
