Some rather bad news;
BBC NEWS | England | Bristol | Crash pilot had 'taken ecstasy'


A pilot who died when he crashed in a field killing his teenage passenger had taken an illegal drug just hours before the accident, it has emerged.

The Air Accident Investigations Branch (AAIB) said Robert Gunter, 33, was found to have had ecstasy in his blood.
The report into last July's crash said the drug would have impaired his judgement and ability. The father of 13-year-old Jamie Clapp, who also died, expressed his anger at the pilot, who was a family friend.
