Plane crash at Shoreham - avoid A259

Depends on the runway in use. When I am flying from Wycombe I leave the airfield boundary before I get to 400 feet up. Both aircraft were low wing so if one were climbing beneath the other and the climbing pilot were not full aware of the other craft were, for example, coming from behind they would not see each other and BANG.

That's fair enough, but presumably they collided at least a mile from the airport and reasonably high up to have scattered stuff in quite a wide area - and a larger number of people claim to have seen the striken plane, so it must have been airborne for a while (i.e. more than a few seconds) before crashing, so I couldn't see what the runway had to do with it, that's all.

I think I read that one was descending and didn't see the other. The one descending hit the other ones wing from above. I believe the one that was hit was the one who crashed.
