It's the dramatic left wing drop during a landing and possibly attempted go-around that seems to link the three. Luckily we all walked/swam away from the first two incidents.
Sorry, Zlin, but let's have a little show of hands of everyone who been involved in a TBM landing crash in the last couple of months...
Oh come on! Let's not always see the same hands.

Ok, enough of the willy waving right now. Please respect the people who died in this incident and lets not have anymore of this speculation.
This thread should go along the lines of the plane came down, fatalities, condolenses to all concerned, instead it has already turned into an argument between a few people.
Wait until the final report comes out before continuing this conversation.
In the meantime, this thread should be in rememberance of those who died in this incident. Fellow pilots remember.
Condolenses on this thread, theories on another.

Hi All
I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the Sky news report. The actual press coverage was OK they were only doing a Job. However, my blood boiled at the Thames Valley police spokesman. His speculative comments would make any tabloid reporter blush. It was so unbelievable I would like to make a complaint, but before I go into print I would like to see a copy of the tape. Then at least I could get my facts absolutely solid.
Something I thought the police should be quite good at. Please if you have a copy could you PM me.
My respects to all of the relatives of the lost aviators from this terrible week.
Regards
Wide

BRL - Well moderated Sir.
I find it most perplexing that some people are only concerned with what the registration of the aircraft is. Is this a perverse spotting fixation ?
My condolence are with the families of the pilot and his passengers.

Excuse me for being harsh but if they had been killed in a car crash would we be offering condolances to people that we had never met? I doubt it. Always seems a bit hypocritical to me.
Am I upset by the deaths of people I have never met? I just read with passing interest this along with the deaths of the other hundreds of thousands of people that die each day. This is life.
I do however believe that we should try to understand the causes of the accident as pilots and if by doing so we can prevent another accident then it is worth the effort.
As has been said before it in no way dishonours those who died.
If god forbid I should bin it and die then please feel free to anaylse my demise in the hope that it benefits learning. But don't send false condolances!

If that jibe is intended for me, I think you will find that the definition of condolence is "Sympathy with a person who has experienced pain, grief, or misfortune". The definition of sympathy
can be "tendancy to favour or support". Enough said.
My original point was it would appear that some of the threads on here are more intrested in the aircraft serial number.

Sadly, if somebody wants to find out the number, there is a vast number of spotter sites to choose from.
Type your own aircraft reg into Google and see what turns up. This is just a fraction of what can be found. It is astonishing anybody has the time for this sort of thing...

I made no jibe. I don't give a stuff about sympathy for people I have never met. I will leave sympathy and compassion to those better suited to it than me.
I was merely reflecting on the comments about not discussing the situation.
Don't be so sensative, but thanks for the definition.
