I’ve read the two reports above, both accidents conducted by professional crew, appropriately licenced, qualified, and operating legally within the requirements of the ANO for the flights being conducted.
This accident appears to be pretty much the opposite of the above, least of all in the crew suitability. In all three accidents the opportunity prior to flight, and with G-GH specifically once airborne, was there for the crew/crews to call halt, or ‘no go’ and they didn’t.
I’ve had crews ‘refuse’ flight, always with good reason. That cost the operator significant amounts of money and a degree of difficulty and ‘embarrassment’ with the clients. No one died though.
