I haven't
but this quote from JimL (a prime architect of the PC1 'upwards and backwards' take off that delivers 'engine accountability') might be pertinent:
"The arguement that simplicity is safer than complexity is a given, only the consequence of failure is in question"
Lets wait for the report, whatever it was, many here lost a great friend and a "top banana".
Always v sad for many people.
