Thanks Capot, Om15, plasticmerc and winglit
Thanks to the four of your so far. This gives me plenty to read up on this coming week. I was aware of the obvious Aloha one and the TWA 800 but I know that there are plenty more, and it could take a long time to plough through reports, google, etc. I will look into all the ones mentioned so far and find the accident report etc.
Capot, you have helped me a number of times before and I see that you are very helpful to other members of the forum, so thank you. And om15 too. I am aware that things are certainly not ideal with EASA and CAA at the moment, having had my own recent experiences with them.
But I would still prefer to try to do something about it, rather than do nothing and moan. I feel that helpful engineers like yourself and the others above are certainly rendering a great service in passing your knowledge down to people like myself coming newly into this industry and discovering the many good things as well as the not-so-palatable nooks and crannies.
