Remember the Airlander crash?

The ‘world’s biggest aircraft’, operating under an EASA flight test scheme, overseen by the CAA, crushed its crew compartment because of an screw-up with a mooring line. The crew lost control and were in mortal jeopardy; they survived by chance not design.

Bedford is under two hours from Farnborough by car.

The AAIB sent a form to the captain for him to fill in.

No examination of the flight test programme or its oversight.

So the likelihood that they’ll look into a foreign-registered ATP having a bit of a hop and a skip and jump is debatable.
