avionic type - it wasn't engineering. I am convinced this was flight-crew error.
If you were one of the guys looking after the Tridents, then I have the most profound respect for you. This accident was not the fault of any engineer. Three guys on that flight deck messed-up. Simple as that. One was a friend.
But none of this was known until months after the accident. Avionic type's post concerned the engineers
at the time - terrified that they had stuffed up the night before.
One other thing that sticks in my mind of the coverage at the time was the news reports that traffic chaos built up very quickly in the area with loads of ghouls converging on the scene.
