Well I'm assuming it's been seriously looked at by the relevant authorities.

Having read the full accident report,

Oh, for God's sake, give it a rest. Don't you think it's great news that this Lady has been put back where she belongs; in the air? Frankly, scr$w you and your safety, holier than thou, "It shouldn't be allowed" hoop. If someone wants to fly it, who the hell are we to criticise? I would (fly it). And why shouldn't I? Oh, except for the fact that I can't fly a Lightning. But he can.
Right?
EDIT: Oops. Got carried away. Sorry, GR4T, we co-posted. It wasn't directed at you.
When will they ever learn? Anywhere in the civilized world, those responsible for the last smoking hole would be in jail by now.

I agree Courtney! I would give my right arm for another go in the worlds finest! Good luck to them and more pictures please!
Now what's the number for staff travel so I can get to watch the action!

The CAA gave permission for ‘maintenance/test’ flights last year. MBH took the aircraft for a test flight yesterday. They are not allowed to fly commercially, this may come later, would be fantastic.
