I believe 'noske' (Post #36) had more in the post yesterday (from the German report, I believe) - which seems to have disappeared. I recall it was said the Typhoon began a gentle left turn, the Lear followed but turned tighter and lost sight of the lead. I do not see any need to 'review the procedures' since a real intercept is unlikely to have studied any 'review'. If the foregoing is correct, it was the Lear that caused the collision, and it would by no means be the first mid-air due to becoming 'unsighted'. The damage (pages 40/41 et al) to the rear of the Tiffy is significant.

Will the report be published in English?
