Article in the "Sundays" reports that cause was "pilot error" combined with lack of ground planning to cope with such an accident. Must agree with Chris Kebab that there never really looked like there was anything wrong with either engine. I think the handling pilot missed one or more of his "gates" and aircraft did in deed stall in the final stages as he realised he had f***** it and pulled full back stick. It has happened before and sadly may well happen again. RIP Chris Lackman and Jack Thompson.
