I've spoken to and had transaction dealings with Rod Lovell, I found him to be a decent bloke, and he copped a lot of abuse and unfair treatment from aviation authorities, and even the flying fraternity over this crash. I didn't know about this crash until well after I'd dealt with him.

 

After I discovered the story of the crash, I personally think Rod was unfairly maligned, and he made the best of a bad situation. It doesn't pay to fly ancient junky old aeroplanes if you value your aviation reputation.

I have just read the entire BASI report.  No one comes out looking good.. Too much neglect of proper Process. The Plane is a piece of crap.  Disfunctional organisation. Corners cut. Improper surveilance .Nev
