Aztec crash near Bagby 6 July'23.
Reading between the lines of this story it appears there may have been maintenance issues,
I wouldn’t want to be the person who signed the maintenance off if it subsequently had an issue .The CAA and police involved means there are serious matters to resolve
Others may have worked on the aircraft but the buck rests with the licenced engineer

It seems rather early for arrests on technical infringements. Is it possible this PPL was flying commercially on the 'Sharing costs' excuse. Bagby to France to Ireland and back is rather more than a PPL Navex. If he was flying passengers to Ireland commercially without a CPL and AOC then owners & operators are in deep doodoo.
