Are you one of those people that gcal is referring to?

To answer your question about possible recklessness in the Hurricane accident. No, I don't think he was reckless and I've not heard of anyone at all who thinks he was. He made a mistake, and in aviation these can cost you dear. You ever made one?

Neither, in my opinion was the Hunter pilot reckless, although the findings of the AAIB will tell the full story. I think he just made a slight cock of the thing, and ran out of sky and ideas at about the same time. That's just my 2p worth. Although he was a very professional pilot by all accounts, even the best can get caught out. I'd be very surprised if he was behaving recklessly given what's 'known' so far about this accident.
