Coventry Middair...

Regarding Sundays middair between Cessna 402 and as yet unknown SEP...
Does anybody have facts regarding the SEP, as all the talk has been re the 402!
SEP details? Student pilot? PPL? or other...
Standard SEP (PA 28 ect) or VLA or homebuilt (Def not Microlight)...

The 402, was it Flight checking the ILS or other Aid?
Was the radar F/S or on maint...
was it on long finals (to go round) and the SEP in tne CT or joining Base...

Was it high wing/low wing situation?

were both A/Cs radios F/S and if so was the SEP in comms with Cov TWR?
If both were in contact with ATC, why was Police 41 only looking for ONE A/C in the early stages, (had the TWR not briefed then it was a prob middair?) until Helemed saw the other!...

Was the TWR in full awareness what had actually happened?

Whatever the situation, im sure all our thoughts are for those involved and left behind...

Very few details regarding the SE plane. All we know is that is was not a microlight. It was a single engine two seat, homebuilt, with one fatality onboard. No details regarding actual type, reg, owner or where it is from.

Everything else is very sketchy. And a lot of the reports have been 3rd hand.
