Just seen the news having returned from the Fly-In at Popham. Two people killed. Very sad and my thoughts are with their families...

Anyone have details on which aircraft it was?

If they have they will hopefully keep it to themseves until it is in the public domain

Sad news, RIP whoever it is

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

Beeb now reporting: "The twin-tailed plane came down in a field at Tangley, near Andover, shortly before 1300 BST"

I can only think of a Cessna 337 although I'm sure there are others...

[Sir George Cayley]

Oh dear, there is another type and one flew over westbound yesterday.

I met the owner recently so now feeling apprehensive.

Foxmoth said "If they have they will hopefully keep it to themseves until it is in the public domain". If it is not put in the "public domain" on here then could explain which "public domain" you would find acceptable please? This is not an inflamatory or trick question, I am truly asking for peoples views on what they consider to be an acceptable "public domain" and why.
Thanks

For me, it's when the authorities release it to the media after the next of kin have been informed. It is not for an eye witness, or anyone else to 'unofficially' make assumptions and/or use the reg. to draw conclusions, or publish same on here prior to next of kin being informed.

It wasn't an Ercoupe/Aircoupe

[shortstripper]

And calling Foxmoth, foxmouth, isn't inflammatory???

AAIB would be acceptable IMHO, but realistically, that would be a very slow way of getting the info out. I suppose then, that the various news channels for all their inaccuracies, do at least wait for the relatives to be informed. Fishing for someone on here to name names/type ect, may be giving such info prematurely, and is pretty low ... don't you think?

I think AAIB as SS says would take a bit long, to me it would preferably be when the police have released details, often though the press unfortunately get something from elswhere first, once it is published there then fine, publish it here - but please don't let the press get it from here first!

[Shunter]

And when was the last time you saw names in an AAIB report exactly?

[smarthawke]

Oh please! It isn't hard to see what is being rightly suggested. In the past the media, press (call it what you want) has gleaned information from Pprune - aircraft types, registrations etc.

What is being said is if it appears in the media etc then fine but best not let possibly incorrect information be stated here which the press might pick up on. No one said wait for the names to appear from the AAIB, it was more to do with the aircraft type I think.

There are plenty of twin finned aircraft out there - from bombers to light aircraft.

At the end of the day, if this tragic incident affects you directly then you probably know about it already.

I'm sorry but yes it is, this is a RUMOUR network and like it or not is the way of the modern world. If you only want confirmed facts don't look here.

[Nibbler]

Only the twin tail section remained which was of wooden construction. This made initial identification impossible and means only a very small number of people know which aircraft it was. I suspect then this sort of information will only be available here after the relatives have been informed and offered the support they may need.

I pray their end was quick and with little suffering.

The langauge used by the Telegraph in their report of this is disgusting and goes far beyond anything in any other news source. Shame on you.

Oh I see, because this is a RUMOUR network all sense of decency and respect should be lost?

You've missed the point, I believe.

WorkingHard asked:

and I answered on this RUMOUR network.

You believe what you will and conduct your life within whichever rules and ethics you choose, as shall I, but the fact this is a RUMOUR network is irrelevant! It does not make publicising non essential conjecture, rumour or fact any more acceptable, less distasteful, or disrespectful, however much you want to hide behind that excuse!

Incidentally, apology accepted.
