I would consider it a favour if, as ever, there is no speculation as to the cause until the report comes out.
At that time I had no inkling that there might be a pattern here.

I was talking this evening to my mother (who was another pax at Dundee) who had drawn her own conclusions from what she had experienced in our crash and what she had heard on the TV about Oxford, and she was quite adamant that lessons must be learned quickly. She is all too aware what might have happened.

Obviously no-one is going to add strakes to, or ground, or whatever the TBM fleet before the formal AAIB report. But if just one TBM pilot looks at Bookworm's list and, I don't know, adds a greater gust factor, or gets more right rudder in a go-around or whatever, then it can do no harm and maybe a little good.
