The driver held the appropriate certificate from an appropriate FTF and the rego situation was purely the mis-reading of an S as a 5. He had flown into Old Bar on previous occasions and most recently only a short interval before the day of the prang.. that much is now known.

The ferris wheel appears to have been erected within the splay of the ALA.

Ironically, a heavier and more strongly constructed aircraft may have done what was so luckily avoided here.

All food for thought.
