Monty,

Thank you for the clarification.

I did say 'If' and I did ? whether you were defending the Carno twit.

I'm grateful to you for your unequivocal condemnation of him.

I don't demur from your overall conclusions on the Tucano/Harrier incident (the slower speed should perhaps have flagged up that we were not talking Jag) though I believe that some of the detail of your description is awry.

I do carry some anger about Carno, which represented a tragic and needless killing of a good man, and do detect a common thread in the collisions we've seen between military FJs and civil light aircraft engaged in air-to-ground photography.

I commend the OP for staying above 1,000 ft AGL and do not include him in my condemnation of the fools who don't do it properly.
