I agree Bookworm. It was a horrible accident which claimed more lives than it should have.

For once the Beeb's reporting of an accident report seems fairly factual, rather than tabloid. I am intrigued why the article goes on to quote "Aberdeen aviation expert, Jim Ferguson" (who seems to get rolled out for everything north of Hadrian's Wall) who is demanding CVR's be installed on all P/T flights - is this a general feeling? I guess it makes the AAIB's job easier.

I am more interested in what history Mr Ferguson has to make him an expert? Maybe it's a background in piston twin ops? If anyone knows I'd be interested to know.
