The legal action brought by the widow of the pilot doing conversion training (on behalf of herself and their children) was due to be heard in the High Court this week.
After some days of negotiation, the parties settled yesterday at an agreed sum of £431,500 including costs. (Considerably less than the amount claimed.)
The action was discontinued by agreement with no admission of liability. The aircraft owners/insurers provided the bulk of that sum, with Gent to pay £20,000 personally.
