Totally agree with you stik.
Incredible how a lot of people here tell everyone to wait for the AAIB reports to come out and now there's a load not wishing to believe them! Anyone with any knowledge of a Yak will know how difficult it is to see down the back of a fuselage amongst the elevator controls on a pre-flight check.
As has been said, Tony was a very experienced aerobatic competition pilot (and a really nice bloke) hence why he was practising aeros at a lower altitude than what most of us do - that's where aero competitions are held.
Bose-x you really are incredible. We all know just how accomplished you are in every walk of life but enough is enough. Now you a DNA crime scene investigator and war veteran! Whether your lamp swinging tales can quite equal to that of Tony who was one of the pilots using the downwash of their SeaKing rotor blades to blow the burning ships lifeboats to safety. No doubt you can beat that......
