I guess I am flogging a dead horse, but to repeat what I wrote shortly after the accident, I still feel the title of this thread to be inappropriate, suggesting as it does that the loss of the Hunter outweighs the loss of 11 lives. I appreciate that the thread may well have been started before the OP was aware of the consequences of the crash, but perhaps the title could have been amended in the light of events. 'Nuff said.
You are absolutely correct, I started the thread within minutes of the crash happening, however nobody at that moment in time could have foreseen the tragedy that later unfolded.
(my bold type)
Pontius - trying to respond to you by PM. But PPRuNe thinks your PM box is overstuffed. (Why am I not surprised?)
So, dear thing, delete a couple of, no doubt, gems

Unfortunately even as the OP I am unable to change the title, that is for the MODs to do or I could just delete the entire thread, however that would be unfair to others who have had an input.

Local (often unreliable) media are reporting that the AAIB "final" report will be published Fri 3 March 17
The AAIB will really just be the end of the beginning. If the Police enquiry leads to (or is likely to lead to) prosecutions, then the inquest will be delayed until those proceedings are finished.

Some of the knock on effects from the incident based on the unreleased findings.

Report due out today. Radio news reporting a list of reccomendations included to prevent such an occurrence happening again.
I'm sure there will be great interest in the final report in very wide circles.

BBC TV News said it will be released at 1200. I hope the on-line version in on the same timescale, otherwise this Thread will be full of people tapping their fingers on the desk.
Hey, HH, just what I was thinking!
Having read and re-read the 'Shoreham Hunter' thread here on Military Aviation and the similar thread on Accidents and Close calls, it would make sense to agree on a single location for future posts. Perhaps it would even be appropriate to start a new thread on 'Shoreham Hunter AAIB Report' or something similar.
There is bound to be overlap on the various PPRuNe threads, but an agreement now before the report is out would seem prudent. It was an Accident, but it was a ex-Military aircraft.

Surely not yet another thread!

I have started a thread, in preparation for the release of the report at noon.
