Stormvector, let us get one thing straight here.
You started a thread on R&N. It was the wrong forum and should have been in Private Flying. In this forum 4 other people decided to start a thread on the same subject. The simple fact is that we do not allow that.
Between us, PPRuNe Towers and I had to merge the other threads. Yours in R&N I closed but you can add it to this thread if you wish.
It appears there are more twists in more knickers that was previously imagined.
It was I who started the thread on R+N, seconds after hearing of the tragic situation on Sky News.
It was a reported as a collision between two aircraft in the vicinity of a civil airfield.
It was more than just a rumour and certainly news, so that is where I chose to post it.
A fairly embarrassing display of ego-tripping then took place about where the posts should be located, eclipsing the real and tragic content.
At that point I butted out, my prick firmly secured within my Y-Fronts.
I do not know why this kind of thing brings out the worst in aviators or wannabe aviators, I only know that it does!
I certainly did not delete said post.
Perhaps however, it was better that somebody did for the avoidance of further embarrassment!
Cheers
El G.
