Perhaps we should also remind ourselves that whilst several investigations are going on around Shoreham - and that is absolutely right and necessary, if anybody *knows* that prosecutions are going to happen, they aren't posting about that here. Nor should they. Similarly if there was such a prosecution, we also don't know (nor should anybody who knows say in public before anything is official) who would be being prosecuted.

I'm sure that as aviators we will all agree that the most important thing that comes out of all and any investigations into Shoreham will be the prevention of any repetition. There is then a very valid debate about whether that would actually be served by any kind of legal process, rather than "just" enforced learning and changes to best practices. However, that debate should perhaps not be had too publicly?
