I have just read the most recent pages and can say the following.Firstly, he was a nice guy and did own the aircraft, he did his training at Jersey Aero Club and none of his PPL training would have been in a glass cockpit, the club aircraft are all gauges with 2 having Garmin 430's which students frequently have finger trouble with. He had flown up to watch England play at Twickenham the day before and had offered a lift back to 2 of his friends who fortunately declined and flew back commercially.
For those of you wondering about the radar, SSR only tracks can appear to weave regardless of a/c type and aren't as reliable as primary returns, this is the reason that 5 mile spacing is required for SSR only radar separation as opposed to 3 miles for primary radar. As such it cannot be relied upon as an indication of the plane being hand flown as opposed to autopiloted. Also the Avranches radar is some 60 miles away from the accident site which will also affect the recorded track, the same can be said of primary radar for different reasons.
