Above The Clouds,

As possibly the only Councillor with any knowledge of airshows I did indeed register my unease. However if you go around resigning over every issue that you are outvoted on it becomes ridiculous, you end up behaving like spoilt kids. I made my doubts over safety known, luckily with Lowestoft I was wrong, but as this incident shows it was luck.

On the "pilot error" issue , if I could clarify: I agree that the AAIB will indeed establish the cause of the crash. However where I do feel that his responsibility lies is on the positioning of the aircraft. He should not have been over the A27. That may of course not have been deliberate but I would argue that it was certainly an error.
