Jed: Thanks for the stats - and I know how difficult it can be to get what you want in the UK.
Couple of points:
These stats are based on 39 fatal accidents in 11 yrs. What we should really look at is ALL accidents. But the authorities are only interested in fatals.....so they only ever concentrate on these.
And we really do need to see stats for per 100,000 or 1,000,000 hrs flown by type. Otherwise we have to make assumptions.
And as we've all been told : never assume anything!
