Emiliano Sala: Manslaughter arrest over footballer's death
"Det Insp Huxter urged people not to speculate about the identity of the man as it could hinder the investigation."

Sala manslaughter arrest
Looks like they have arrested *someone* in connection with the Sala crash ... a 64 yr old from North Yorkshire. Probably not Willie McKay the "football agent", as he is 60 and from Monaco ... maybe David Henderson?

Apparently it is indeed David Henderson, according to Daily Mail.

Yep the times.co.uk are also reporting this... 64yr old man so it has to be him who organised mr ibbotson to fly the plane to taxi sala.
Always wondered why henderson was so quiet regarding the tragic accident.

So for those not in the know, can you enlighten us? Who is David Henderson?

The headline article in the Times seems to contradict itself. In the 4th para it describes Henderson as a "private pilot", but in the 10th it describes him as an "experienced commercial pilot". Is this saying he is a lapsed CPL who has dropped down to PPL, or is it just wrong?

I think it’s as simple as he’s a private pilot, with a current commercial rating. This means he can fly for hire and reward when contracted/required to do so, eg ferrying aircraft.

If you search for Dave Henderson pilot you will find a BBC piece "My life as a ferry pilot"
Note the aircraft. The opening sentence says it all.
Sorry, link doesn't seem to work.

I suspect the insurance needs "someone" to blame, so the authorities are playing along with the "pin the tail on the donkey" part of the fun, and Mr Henderson has ended up with the tail ...
I doubt it will go anywhere ... they'll try someone else and then give up ..

It does appear D.I was being paid per hour to fly plus all expenses. The question is who contacted D.I and told him to do this "job", that he was not qualified to do? Who supplied him the airplane to fly?
I am guessing D.H got the job to make sure Sala would be in Cardiff on time.
The BBC video shows him with the crashed airplane, so there is some connection there for sure. McKay has planted the blame with D.H it seems, although the McKays are probably the ones who put "commercial" pressure on the flight to be completed on time, to make sure Sala would be on time in Cardiff.
But the one who should have said stop, seems to be D.H, as he would have known D.I was not a Commercial Pilot, did not have an Instrument rating.

Arrest by police does not at this stage mean any more than gathering of evidence from any suspect who may have involvement in a criminal act. It is at the charging stage that more detailed information will be made public. All that is known so far is that the Mckay duo and Henderson have been mentioned in various press articles as candidates for involvement. For all we know the owners of the aircraft may also be on the list of likely candidates for a tete a tete under the lamp.
I wonder if anyone have seen or heard of cops sniffing around asking questions around various airfields and hangars, calling to see log books, tech records and airfield movement records.

I gather the usual reason for that is where someone declines to volunteer to help the police with their enquiries, but obviously I have no idea whether that is the case here.
