I'm not normally one to bash post-accident threads, as there's always plenty to be learnt even in the early stages of a discussion, but seriously guys think twice before you post a reg just hours after the accident, it really doesn't help when the media are a bunch of hyenas that will jump on anything.

Nottinghamshire plane crash leaves pilot and his wife dead near M1 | Mail Online

Pilots wrote online that they believed the plane was a 42-year-old Cessna owned by the Merlin Flying Club, which operates out of Hucknall Airfield.

The small airfield is less than a mile from the M1 between junctions 26 and 27, near the crash site.

A representative of the airfield declined to comment on the crash and told MailOnline all enquiries should be directed to Rolls-Royce, which owns the airfield.

Rolls-Royce did not immediately return requests for comment.
So because of one reg post, which may not even be correct, various companies are now getting hassled by the media for no good reason.
