Thread:Comments:UK Civil Aviation Authority issues update on Shoreham crash response/Armchair detecting

The notes on maintenance don't conclusively show anything, but they do suggest mechanical issues with the plane. Unclear if Hill had any involvement in that.

The idea of scheduling an inquest when there's still clearly months of investigative work is silly. There's good reason to open and postpone inquests in these circumstances; it ensures they're in the system ready to go. But late 2017 would be more sensible; even then, a trial or other delay could push it yet further back.
