'It may also be worth mentioning that the previous accident blamed on the wing pin was never actually proved as the suspect pin was never in fact recovered and it was assumed that the pin had shattered in flight.'


Whilst it is true that the pin was never found, the winglock microswitch which was mounted on top of the pin was found in the impact crater!
