Out of interest who gets first call on the B/B recorders Civil or Military aviation, or will it be a shared investigation ?

Maybe they will get the one from their aircraft first but whether the military will share is another matter

Then Gazwag as well we know what happens next conspiracy theories, which to a degree one can understand from the POV is someone hiding something ?

My brother-in-law was on SKY News about 11.10 this morning talking about the crash, and the factors involved with night flying, as an ex RAF Chinook Sqdn Leader. Very interesting what he was saying if anyone can find it online.

There’s a few of us on this board who are interested in Aviation, should i start another thread specifically to discuss the actual Aircraft crash itself away from this one which is turning in to another Frump thread?

The majority of the comments involving him are about what he's said/posted about the crash, no? So completely relevant to the conversation/thread...

I’d suggest that perhaps i’m not time rich like you who clearly spends time skimming the internet and social media forums, i was interested in this topic on THIS forum but it’s now yet another Frump thread

Interestingly, whenever I want to know the inside track on a Saudi bid for Mitoma or Hurzeler's tactics for Forest, the first place I go is pprune.

And interestingly when i want the inside track on Cockapoos, Indian Restaurants, or where i get my posh middle aged shop from I head to a Brighton fans football forum.

I’m not sure what your point is but ask yourself whether you might be in fact playing the player here and as a moderator why bother shit stirring almost 24 hours after i posted? Well?

He was brilliant

Clearer video of the crash. Happened so quickly.

Appreciate that some online are saying the chopper pilot was mistakenly watching the plane behind in the Q (for landing) and was also too high...but it still seems bizarre they can't see each other's lights.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Almost exactly 24 hours prior to the crash another helicopter forced a plane to go around at the same location when they received a collision avoidance alert. Pure uneducated guesswork but my instinct is the military were getting more and more lax and risky probably due to the amount of times they had done the manoeuvre and finally they got too close.
