I flew from Wellington to Nelson recently, a 30 minute flight over the Cook Strait. Went over in an older 12 seater that was like a transit van with wings. Back on a more modern 10 seater. Both flights have just the one pilot, no cabin crew, direct line of sight to the cockpit and view through front screen to the runway. Like a fairground ride tbh.

Where they at the back? saw the images of a partially in tact tail. Looked like it lost thrust or speed after a critical point during take off. Horrific.

He was a Brit as well. Guess he’ll be taking the bus home now.
