I mention all of these as anyone that knew Barry was still flying the YAK with no CPL could have done something to avoid this crash.
Yea, I knew Barry, and also knew that no one could stop him......
There is one person to blame for the accident, no amount of psuedo James Reason theorising will convince me otherwise.
Over the last many years several pilots I have worked and lived with have been killed, and over half of them caused it - and they would agree.
