If I recall, the impact on the ground of the bulk of the two aircraft fell on unoccupied airfield at Fairford. Had this happened at Farnborough, the debris would have landed in local infratructure? I've put this out to see if anyone can recall this? I'm interested.

If it had happened at Farnborough, perhaps the bit of cloud that caused #2 to lose visual on #1 wouldn’t have been there, and there would’ve been no collision at all.
If, if if.
