I would have thought that crossed controls would have been found in any examination of the wreckage and mentioned at the Inquiry - but, having written that, they seemed to accept the account from Brigadier Hicks, who was one the first people to find him, of him being outside the aircraft and thus not strapped in and not the walker or the farmer who actually released him from the wreckage and dragged him clear! - but perhaps the wreckage was not examined thoroughly?
The truth is out there - but will it ever surface after nearly 66 years
