Any idea how much all that will have cost? Committing all those teams, especially the Air Ambulance, which could have been saving lives elsewhere is criminal.
The point is that all that cost was nedlessly raised, it should never have gone that far. If you were to land on a private field and someone telephoned in the same line "I've just seen an aircraft crash" and with no further questioning they scrabmled everything would you deem it your own fault and criminal? It's pretty clear from all available accounts that effectively a touch and go was made and the aircraft was seen flying on. I do not call that a crash and do not think it warrants calling the police. The speed limit concern is an issue for the naitonal park warden. Water at speed is pretty hard, and this person obviously seems to know what they're doing and may have very extensive experience.
