SS - Do you think it is significant that the AAIB specifically stated how much fuel was removed from the aircraft in its initial bulletin? Do you think there would be any legal considerations when driving a freshly crashed aircraft 450 miles down the motorway from Glasgow to Farnborough with Jet A1 sloshing around in it? Do you think the risk of losing residual fuel through any (at that time) undiscovered damage might cause a hazard and/or directly affect the subsequent investigation?


Rather than spouting off all the time, try and think about what you want to say, before you say it. Call the AAIB and ask what its general policy is for draining fuel from crashed aircraft before recovery and we'll speak later.
