L39 Accident At Duxford - Inquest
The inquest into the L39 over-run at Duxford in June 2002 took place in Cambridge yesterday and today.

I might add that although the QC acting on behalf of the deceased pilot's family described him as such, most people in the know would describe him somewhat differently. AFAIK, he has never even flown one (certainly not in the UK anyway!). Quite obvious he knew nothing about the L39 ejection seat system....
Hearing the evidence during the inquest, the most experienced L39 instructor in the country would seem to be the person who survived the accident.

Air Commodore Timothy Thorn, described as the premier instructor with the L39 jet aircraft in the country, said the plane's emergency brake, which had not been activated, should have been used.
