Don't ban or censure speculation, unsettling though it is to many aircrew - its a small time internet based public forum (PPrune ffs-not The Times)- anyone can post here. We need free speech (and thought) as much as ever within the (largely controlled) media. People are right to ask hard questions about this weekend. They would be asking a lot more if this aircraft had come down upon the general public.
I spell it out- a very old ex military aircraft yet again, doing a display and flying over the general populace comes to grief, and yet again my question on Prune is how necessary and safe is this exactly?
I say again; fortunate enough that nobody was underneath the aircraft when it came to grief, considering it was a mass outdoor event within densely populated England.
And incredible though it seems to some pruners, please spare a single thought for the fire crews, the medical staff and the police in their efforts to deal with and control the unpleasant aftermath of the crash.
