I flew in to Western on the Saturday and spoke to both the CAA rep and the HSE rep.
The aircraft involved was an Apache. The Police have some Video footage from security cameras but apparently the quality is poor.
On the Friday, winds of 27kts or more were coming off the sea. As a result most aircraft flew over the beach area from the South, then near the main road to turn into wind to land.
The pedestrian was watching the incoming Apache and was either “Blown” into the Trucks path, or “Fell” (Akin to the Penguin phenomenon).
The CAA rep at Weston incidentally was the same chap who investigated the Twin Squirrel incident.
“He was guilty. He didn’t do a recce of the Lawn area of the Hotel. I flew a Twin Squirrel in and it was fine. Definite pilot error”!
His words not mine.
There was talk of the event being closed after the incident, but fortunately the organisers were able to convince the HSE and Police (And the CAA) otherwise.
H.L !
