Saw it on the local news this evening:

(Click on Meridian South East, Evening Bulletins, and then select Sun Eve 11/03/07 for the report).

Let's hope the pilot pulls through.

Cheers

Yes, was using the short runway. My son was on the scene as a Kent Firefighter. Not nice. I hope this discussion thread does not turn into idle speculation as to the cause ( which I believe may already be established anyhow). I don't imagine the red tops will need any assistance in that area.

Correct, you have to be patient and wait (typically) 4-6 months for the AAIB report. That's true for most air accidents in the UK.

MA, AAIB reports are published on http://www.aaib.gov.uk, click Publications then Bulletins. Hope they can get to the bottom of the performance issue. :(
