It is encouraging to see the large number of thoughtful and intelligent posts here, but disquieting to see the larger number of posts that show a complete misunderstanding of the operation of a Victor, and the care that has to be taken when showing such an aircraft off to an enthusiastic, critical and professional audience. A couple of posts from people who should know better are particularly unwelcome. A lot of Red Herrings have been thrown up, but essentially, only 3 people know the sequence of events: pre-day events, pre-flight inspections, K2 technical considerations, met assessments, pre-flight checks, briefings, and the run itself. There are now so many sites discussing this incident, that they are losing the plot. All will be revealed when it is right to do so. There are certainly lessons to be learnt. For those with an investigative mind, look at all the pictures again, the clues are there. Are there any videos to see?
