It feels like people on here are upset and I can see why, I am included, but to take it out and vent the outrage bus on the photographer who in the end may help draw a conclusion to the accident and possibly prevent it again seems to me wrong.

I completely disagree. The photo of Red 3 parachuting to safety, whilst the hawk explodes behind him doesn’t help the public st all. All it shows is the immediate impact that killed a serviceman. Photos prior to that MAY help the AAIB in that they may show the moment of bird ingestion etc however, they offer the public nothing.

It’s not surprising that th Daily Fail publishes the shots. Credible newspapers will have no doubt said, ‘no thank you’ to the photographers offer to sell the shots. Taylor has shown very little respect for what happened here and I hope that avaiation publications turn their back on him.
Perhaps you should watch this and then tell me which is worst.
