The trouble with "eyewitness" reports such as those by Ms Lacey (and our own local Nimbies) is that they are next to useless.
As the AAIB know well, an eyewitness will tell you that any aircraft an they could see was "right overhead" and that altitudes are almost always dramatically underestimated.
Hence any aeroplane viewed just above the horizon is always "over my house at 50" or "about to crash" because it is just a few degrees above trees in the foreground.
The normal pattern of power applications and reductions become "cutting and racing the engine" and a PFL or stall practice becomes "dive bombing the rabbit hutch at the end of my garden".
Funny how they are NEVER close enough to read a registration, though - despite the fact that a car registration plate (which is much smaller) can be read from 75ft away with normal eyesight.
