Just a thought, if there is a scrap of evidence that something else was ultimately the cause [aircraft maint / risk assessment flaws / whatever] maybe Mr Hill is holding out for compo too? Could he be a victim [probably not - but just a thought]

Can't imagine the owner of that rare vintage Hunter jet didn't have insurance - that aircraft is irreplaceable .... And third party cover for any accidental damage [planes do lots of damage when they crash as we've seen] and that would include personal injury / death too. If the pilot has no...

Didn't that bloke in Scotland? driving a dust-cart have a heart attack and crash in to a bus stop with people waiting - think he killed 2. He was unconscious at the time .... I don't think he was up for a manslaughter charge - can't remember .... Mr Hill, the Hunter pilot, was deemed conscious...

Just got to page 164 ... The pilot stated that if the aircraft achieved a height below 3,500 ft he would perform an escape manoeuvre by reducing the rate of pitch, increasing the airspeed, rolling the aircraft upright and climbing away. The pilot had not practised the escape manoeuvre he...

If you take a peek at the 435 full report and the thoroughness you might get some idea .... https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/58b9247740f0b67ec80000fc/AAR_1-2017_G-BXFI.pdf

If you can see you don't have enough speed or altitude at the apex [top of the loop] the escape manoeuvre to to roll out at the top of the loop. As the report suggests, the pilot either didn't know the speed/altitude requirement / didn't look at his instruments / misread his instruments /...

Here's a link to the AAIB report - https://www.gov.uk/aaib-reports/aircraft-accident-report-aar-1-2017-g-bxfi-22-august-2015 I've not read it in full yet, but I believe the aircraft broke up on impact and the front section [with cockpit] was throw clear of the fuselage [and fireball]

I've no idea if it's that simple .... Might be more like passing your driving test and then trying to find the "escape manoeuvre" when making a misjudgement on ice or snow .... Or, until recently, even motorway driving for newly qualified car pilots was a case of find out for yourself ....

Pretty sure he did .... So does this put him on a multiple manslaughter charge?
