listen to the audio report it does sound like a coverup for the military

After all this time and that is the decision............

Not a satisfactory conclusion at all.

Thank you--

I am deeply saddened to read this report.

A horrible report. Distressing for Margaret and all who loved him. However, no report would bring him back. Just remember our lovely Steven, as we all knew him.

Nothing about S Hislop in that link.

The pdf accident report looks sensible, though. Let's forget silly conspiracy theories.

exactly pister merkin, the boy is gone, the report explains why. let's just remember steve as the great man he was - as stella says - simply the best, with nothing more to prove. why sensationalise his demise?
ade!

Steve`s mum was interviewed on the late scottish news tonight and she said that there are still issues that she feels have not been fully resolved some of which she mentioned.

Therefore my opinion has now changed and I will respect her wishes as i think she will never begin to deal with the accident fully until all her questions have been answered.

I just hope that it is dealt with in the proper way and not sensationalised by the press.

thanks,
Stella

All of this is horribly sad. Years ago there was a similar tragedy in my family and a similar official report of 'pilot error'. But my sister-in-law refused to accept that verdict.

My brother-in-law was a highly qualified and experienced pilot, it had been a clear, sunny day with only a gentle breeze when his plane flipped over on landing. He was killed along with his son and his daughter's fiance. So the tragedy devastated two families.

My sister-in-law kept asking questions and hired an investigator.

It's not that people have bad intentions, but there is a tendency on the part of some professionals - controllers, safety officials, military pilots etc, to think of amateur pilots as prone to mistakes.

In the end the official verdict was changed. It was concluded that the air traffic controllers had directed my brother-in-law to land too soon after three large airliners had used the same runway. The lingering turbulence had caused his plane to flip over. There was no pilot error.
