Once again the club has implied that David Henderson was running a charter operation.
Cardiff want to ascertain the exact tie-up between football agent Willie McKay and Nantes, plus his involvement on arranging the doomed flight for Sala.
McKay says he contacted David Henderson to arrange the flight - an experienced pilot who, McKay says, had flown him and many of his players throughout Europe on countless occasions. However, McKay insists he was not involved in selecting either the plane or the pilot.
It's unchartered territory, but Cardiff want the following three questions answered:
- Who has liability for Sala being on a flight with a pilot who held a private pilot's licence which does not permit carrying passengers for reward?
- What was the condition of the plane?
- Why was it flying at night across the largest section of the English Channel?
Henderson has avoided the press but he may well find avoiding CAA prosecutors will not be so easy.
It will be interesting to see where and when the Gamston based Malibu was flown in the months leading up to this tragedy.
