The other takeaway from this report for me is the delay between accident and reporting. I and my partner were walking in the area at the time, saw the air ambulance pass over at very low level and hover around half a mile away. A quick look at Flightradar24 revealed it was near the Jackrells Farm Airfield and we commented then that we had not heard any aircraft or incident noise. We assumed it was a farming or walking incident. We subsequently heard about the aircraft crash and thought it strange we had not been aware of it or heard any noise.

I worked alone for many years and we had to report when entering and leaving of sites, report in at regular intervals and carry devices which detected falls and trips due to abnormal G forces. It would seem prudent to let people know if operating out of remote sites or alone in case of an incident which renders the people involved unable to raise the alarm. We wish the people involved a swift recovery.
