Ok Lala I'll bite.

How about the other circumstances going on here such as:
1. The crews and MAOT informed the organisers that they need to move the loos when the site was recce'd the week prior to the gun move. The toilets were moved approximately 6 feet so that they backed onto the low wall to brace them.
2. The aircraft is heavy as it is carrying a heavy gun, it is also in the downwash of the lead aircraft, running out of power.
3. The lead aircraft has landed short leading to surprise in the second aircraft which is trying to overshoot well before it gets near the toilets.

There are many holes in this cheese and they all lined up perfectly on this instance. Whilst they may hold some of he blame poor airmanship can't be nailed solely at their door. The low wall made it look a lot more impressive than the event really should have been.

Whilst we are here though what about the 24 ill children that got airlifted off the moor by the 2 aircraft and the rescue teams over the weekend? I see you didn't want to talk about that. Get off the bus
