This relates to the L39 which went off the airfield onto the M11 and in which the pilot doing conversion training ejected and was killed (2002):
The legal action brought by the widow (on behalf of herself and their children) was due to be heard in the High Court this week.
After several days of negotiation, the parties settled yesterday at an agreed sum of £431,500 including costs. (Considerably less than the amount claimed.)
The action was discontinued by agreement with no admission of liability. The aircraft owners/insurers provided the bulk of that sum, with Andrew Gent (the commander of the aircraft) to pay £20,000 personally.
