I and many others are really concerned with the welfare of the crew and passengers.
Therefore the why of the crash should be left to the experts.
I do know that all the technical crew were very professional and experienced pilots and engineers.
I wish them all well and condolences to those who died which people seem to be forgetting about

Contrary to the initial reports, no-one on the ground died as a result of the accident. Some were injured, a few seriously.
For the moment, and we all hope it remains this way, the only fatality was the engineer.

There are anomalies in the initial preliminary report so perhaps until all the evidence has been collected and a final report delivered, some contributors here may choose to moderate their willingness to attribute blame and concentrate on the well-being of those unfortunate enough to have been involved.......especially in this particular thread.

Every person ever unfortunate enough to have 'featured' in a crash comic, likely commenced the fateful day with absolutely no idea how the day would end.

There but for the Grace..

Hey Rodney, had this pair not had this prang I would not know who they were and hence the title of this thread would have been meaningless to me. The OP has just cut and pasted from who knows where and that post does contain details of the accident so again I say why am I limited to comment on the wellbeing of the pilots?? It goes without saying Rodney that I wish all involved a speedy and full recovery. BTW that link is broken.

It never used to be so difficult to post a link. Go to the Rumours and News forum and look for Convair.

It’s gone very quiet. Any news on the repatriation back to Australia?

Doug was flown home about a week ago. Ross remains unfit to travel yet.

Doug is back. Not sure about Ross.
