Danger

If you want to see the result of poorly conducted (and arguably illegal) V1 cuts at night - google VH-NEJ crash at Tamworth. This resulted in the unnecessary and negligent deaths of two young, up-and-coming pilots.

I witnessed (and attended) that occurrence post-crash, and am astounded that criminal charges weren't forthcoming.

Take a read of the CVR transcript. The RHS trainee was spot-on questioning the legality of V1 cuts at night. The rest is history.

Rest in peace Messrs. Chomley and Smith. Piss on you Tamair!
