I have just watched the BBC Scotland News as well. The illustration of the accident was pathetic. They also have a habit of wheeling out a certain “Expert” Jim Ferguson who clearly does not have a clue what he's talking about. At the time of the accident his only comment was to say that Colin's helicopter used to be registered in Canada. What the hell had that to do with anything?
This forum is full of highly experienced pilots (I do not include myself ) who could quite easily give an informed analysis that the general public could understand. Instead of us censoring our comments we should maybe be encouraging the media to come on and help them to report aviation related news items accurately
