CL604 crash at Brum.

Is it not about time that a preliminary report, at least,as to the cause of this crash was published? If icing or weather rather than mechanical or engine problems were the prime suspect could this information not be put about publicly in order to exonerate the manufacturers and reassure owner/operators? Had the A/C been sitting outside in freezing moist conditions? Had it been deiced? The airport was closed for a long time; it is to be hoped that this allowed fair progress to be made in the search for the cause of this sad event.

I don't know how much investigation was done onsite but the hulk only arrived at Farnborough on Sunday 20th.

BHX was closed for 2 whole days so that the yellow jacketed, sandle wearing, BHX ops jobsworth's could have their moment in the limelight.
