Well done guys.

We are on a roll of thoughtfull comment instead off thoughtless blaming.

I wonder about the search and rescue thing quite a bit. It's hard to beleive that the airfield rescue services couldn't find the wreck! But I've been there and seen the wreckage after the event. Saw the aircraft sitting in a field, pretty well out of sight. Can't really blame the guys for not finding it more quickly. It seems they tried quite hard. Is this a result of airfield geography?

If there had been a fire, it would have been obvious. Thankfully there wasn't.

How many more airfields could host this type of incident without being able to respond?

How can we make this better?
