I think I've got the answer to this one.
'The aircraft crashed just moments after he took control of the wheel.'
Now, the last time I sat in a P51 cockpit, the 'wheel' was for elevator trim.
Seriously, one does have to wonder just what Hibbett, the pilot, was doing.
The coroner suggested that he'd 'lost situational awareness'.
Well, I guess that'd be pretty safe to say. Eh?
Sad, though. I feel for the poor chap's wife, particularly.
