Beagler, dont know when this accident happened.

However we SHOULD consider that if it occured recently we should show respect to the family of the pilot and NOT provide info to the press via PPRUNE or any other aviation forum by not discussing it.

We had a very sad fatal accident at Sherburn on Friday, many pilots and members witnessed this whole tragic accident as it occured within the airfield, it has affected all who witnessed it and it is NOT right to discuss it in detail.

Hence my reply to a posting earler today about the Sherburn accident, my reply is brief and just names the aircraft type, this was some 3 days after the accident, I would NOT have even posted this if the info had not already been printed in the press and mentioned on local TV & Radio.

I hope it stays this way, as it should in ALL accidents, surely you have empathy with this?.

It also stops the parasites from the press obtaining details via forums if we adhere to this basic principle, the press took more controlling than anything else at Sherburn on Friday.

If it was YOUR father who had made a mistake and killed himself how would YOU feel if he was discussed in an aviation forum?.
