He certainly used to coach one of the WU youth teams when my lad played there a decade ago

You don't seem to do post reading either. You were active on the thread before Westdene posted his predicament, in fact your post #118 appeared immediately after it. Actually I agreed with you about speculation surrounding the pilot, but thought Wesdene's criticism was measured. But you, you just go piling in, knowing the sensitivity of the thread. Obviously your opinion is more important than others', so you can just skip over what they say. I'm really pleased you've been banned.
So, not only an absolute cretin, but a hypocrite as well.

Just found this out, absolutely shocking. I know Jacob fairly well, some of my mates know him even better. He has some very close friends who post on this forum. Can only offer them my sincerest condolences. Completely numb about hearing this so cannot come to terms with what they and his family are feeling right now. RIP mate.
All rationale in regards to safety seems to vanish when it comes to air shows. Performing inverted flight, rolls, spins at low level is always going to be risky business( even more so in a 50 year old aircraft, tbh) . There's just not enough altitude to resolve any problems when things go wrong.

I was in a similar position for a while after 7/7 because my daughter might have been close to the Tavistock square bus, but not for as long as you have been. Trust it's all ok!!

didn't want to post my thoughts on this given the sensitivity but definitely this. it beggars belief.
I had worried with it being local that people I knew would be affected but it's dreadful that it is this close to home. Thinking of everyone that knew Matt and Jacob and keeping everything crossed for [MENTION=1365]Westdene Seagull[/MENTION]
The reason I complained about your comment on the pilot is that I think it suggests he's likely to blame for this, which I think is an unfair accusation on someone who is fighting for his life. I think a more appropriate way to voice your opinion would be just to raise the question as to whether it was likely he was to blame. With an old jet like this, I'd imagine mechanical failure is the most likely cause (it might not be, but just what I think is most likely).
I don't know why he was doing the loop close to the dual carriageway, I don't know the routine was in the wrong place.
No definite news yet but Sussex Police don't believe a car of the model and make of my ex-wife's was involved so kind of relieving news. Also, and this will sound heartless, as victims are named pubically it reduces the chances that my children were involved ..... I can only send my heartfelt condolences to those that now know they have been affected by this accident, fingers crossed that I am not.

Sounds like some good news amidst the bad. I'm glad things seem to be heading the best way for you and your family.

Dear oh dear.
A limo driver who was going to pick up a bride for her wedding day is feared to be among the dead after the horror plane crash.
The driver, who has not been named, is thought to have been in the luxury Daimler when the Hawker Hunter smashed into it on the A27 yesterday.
The car is one of several used by wedding specialists Chariot Chauffeurs and a colleague of the driver was devastated yesterday.
Chariot Chauffeurs are based at Ringmer.
