Did the pilot originally scheduled to fly [i]that[/i] Concorde refuse?
Have just heard a suggestion that the pilot originally scheduled to fly the Air France Concorde that crashed at Gonesse on 25 July 2000 refused because it was so badly overweight?
Anyone know any more about this?
Anyone know anything about a report by 'Ordinex' or who they are?
Anyone know any more about why the accident report rejected theories about the missing spacer, the overweight aircraft, the CofG being too far aft, the engine ingesting lumps of runway light, the FE shutting down the No.2 engine without being asked even as contributory factors?
Can anyone calmly and rationally explain why the 'Single Cause' (tyres and vulnerable fuel tank) explanation is OK, and why ignoring these other factors is sensible?
If there is good reason, I'd love to have my mind put at rest... but otherwise....
