I too would like to express my sincere condolences to Mrs Phoenix. I am delighted that she has decided to get involved here. I have secretly hoped for some time that members of the families affected would make themselves heard on this forum.
Like John I also wonder what is driving K52 - perhaps he is one of those responsible for bringing that particular mark of aircraft into service? Perhaps he is either Wratten or Day? In any event he has to justify his selective comments - which could be perceived as bias - to Mrs Phoenix and all the other family members who suffered loss of a loved one in the crash. No amount of argument will ever bring them back, but to increase the pain by solidly blaming people who may not be guilty is inhuman.
Edited for incorrect spelling of a name, with apologies.
