Blacksheep. I don't think that Steve's death (I'm sorry I've forgotten his second name) was caused by a 'trainer'. As I recall, it was a line aircraft in the hangar undergoing pressurisation checks. Steve was stood beneath the crew door hinge points checking for seal leaks when the two rear locking pins let loose. The door flew forward and took Steve with it. Please put me right if I have got this wrong - memory!
