Courtney, why have you never flown the Gnat, were you too tall..?
Mrs Courtney's little lad too tall?? ROTFLMAO, as they say!

The reason was that both the Gnat and Hunter had been phased out by the time CM reached Valley, so he did his advanced flying training on the JP6, otherwise known as the Hawk T1. Not for him the mysteries of STUPRECCC and CUBSTUNT, the Hobson motor, cam K and datum shift.....

Regarding the AAIB report, its forensic investigation is very thorough and an excellent piece of work. Whether the pilot was incapacitated, disorientated, or simply out of his depth will never be known.
