King Cobra crash

Konkordski,

Nice to see that someone else has bothered to read the whole report and not got stuck at the "insufficient airspeed" bit.

It seems certain there were factors in this accident for which the AAIB have been unable to find evidence, but obviously felt they should comment on - they clearly don't believe that such an experienced and capable pilot could have made that series of errors unless there was a problem with which even he was not privy. My feelings exactly.

Unfortunately the press and contributors to other forums have not hoisted that aboard and have simply blamed poor old Guy.

A sad loss.
