Unhappy Second Time Unlucky

Very sadly, this was not Massey-Ferguson's first fatal execjet accident. They lost a Lear 25 in January 1979 at Detroit with the loss of all on board...including 2 executives. I seem to recall that, as a result of that accident, they disposed of all their aircraft worldwide. (Including G-MFEU then based at CVT).

Seems that all this great technology is of little use without basic airmanship.... frost and ice on wings at time of walkaround... what a shocking and un-necessary waste. bm
