The missing details
This report seems to have plenty of detailed technical information but very little information on the action and intentions of those involved
We're not told, for examp[le, how many cadets turned up at UWAS for these flights - but that two were randomly selected. The odds of randomly selecting two cousins must be pretty long.
Both girls were issued with parachutes - but did they know, or were they told, how to use them?
The two girls aged 13 and 14 had never flown in the Tutor - or indeed any - aircraft before. However both were put in the left hand seat. Was this with a view that they should handle the controls at some point? If so, was one - or perhaps both - of them actually flying their respective aircraft at the time of impact.?
If one or other was flying - was their instructor's attention focussed on them rather than watching where the aircraft was going?
The RAF Inquiry should have interviewed other cadets who have been taken up on similar flights to ascertain how these air-experience flights are actually conducted in practice.
