My first post as I have had an interest in this from the start and sat and watched what people have been saying.
Maintenance has started to become an issue for obvious reasons.
My understanding is that from what Mr Penney has stated is that the aircraft was due an MOT at the end of the year, so a good guess is December.
So other flights in the said aircraft could have taken place before the fatal night.
i suppose my thoughts are: could this
of have been an in flight issue not caused by bad maintenance if the aircraft had clocked up a fair few miles since its MOT. This can certainly happen in a Car even after a few weeks of it passing its Test. failure of parts
