Its a sad fact that any time we have an accident, fatal or not the speculation and comments on pprune generally turns into a bit of a bun fight!! As far as i am concerned lives here have been lost and that is so sad, I earn my living by looking after GA traffic as far as ATC is concened, I love my job and also the people I speak to in carrying out my task so any loss is a great loss to me.........that said my own views on this is that it appears that 2 aircraft have collided in class G airspace whilst operating VFR....if they were recieving an ATC service or not the buck stops with the aircraft commanders maintaining a good look out!! In this case I fear that this failing was the ultimate cause of this tragic accident.
