Let's not start any speculation please!
A friend and very highly respected pilot is in hospital at the moment in intensive care following a dreadful accident. Let's just wish him and his family well.
As of this morning he had come through the operation well. He has serious head and spinal injuries and remains very poorly.
This is not the place for any debate on whether or not he did this or that, or whether or not certain rules were in place or not.
Save it for later, please!
