Kat, your last post is exactly the sort of thing that I was trying to avoid.You are making wild statements and attacking me now. The whole thread degenerates into a slanging match with people trying to score points.
I don't have to justify myself to you ( or anyone else for that matter).
IF you are about to embark on a flight in a Tigermoth and you want some help, feel free to send me a PM or an email or ask for my phone no and I'll happily share my experience with you.
Meanwhile, sqabbling on here is rich pickings for those that want to make us all look stupid and gives no comfort to anyone on here who knows the crew of this unfortunate accident.
My post was not meant to come across as " I know something that you don't " .
If it came across as that then I apologies for not making it clearer.
What I was trying to say in the clearest way that I can put it is if you are not familiar with a given type and ( for instance) don't even know where the fuel tank is, or have never even sat in one let alone flown one then I don't think you are qualified to speculate.
