JXC, the comments on this forum are more likely to be more concialliatory towards UK accident victims as its a UK based forum and forumites are more likely to know the victims and even if they don't, the accident is 'closer to home' for them.

VanHork is absolutely right with his post. However, I have refrained from speculating on the cause of the accident as one family has just lost a member of the crew and the other is presumably in a pretty bad way. This circumstance is different from say a lone pilot who was known to be of a poor standard managing to destroy a perfectly good aeroplane and himself through bad airmanship.

A couple of days hence, when the press at large have lost interest in this tragic accident, I for one will be debating the cause of this accident on this forum with other pilots. The reason for this is not to upset anybody, rather it is to prevent my relatives from going through the same these Tiger pilots'. The more we discuss safety, the better we get at it.
