This is sadly one if those 'should never have happened' things in life and death.


The start of a new adventure in life and then it ends.. . Poor lad, thoughts for his family.

Disgrace that he was on a single engined plane worth half a mil travelling across English Channel, looks like a toy to be fair

I'm sorry but when it comes to aviation there is a much higher risk of death therefore a more suitable, expensive aircraft should be used for people of that importance/value to a particular organisation etc (I know we should all be equal but thats how it is).

Anyway God rest his soul.

Ridiculous take. It's a short hop from Nantes in Brittany to Cardiff in South Wales. Flight time would be about the same as travelling Cardiff to Newcastle.

Also this is horse shit.

You've had a mare here, mate.

Surely with the radar coverage in our area they must know exactly where it went down.

Sad news, whatever type of plane he was in.
Accidents happen, why look for someone to blame already?

Sad news indeed, you have to feel for his family. They must have been on such a high with him moving to the Prem & all that goes with that, then to have it snatched away in such a cruel way.

I would never go on single engine light aircraft. Don't care how short the distance is.



If this is true why wasn't take off abandoned and the plane looked at.

Yeah, that doesn't sound very good at all.
