Surely they have insurance for this sort of thing.

Like most insurance contracts if you do something illegal in the build up to what you try to claim for, then it is null and void.

The pilot did not have the correct licence and it was illegal flight as it should have been on a commercial basis.

Ah of course. I guess it's hard to blame Cardiff if it is financially crippling. However they should really have thought about that before double down on their "one of us" mantra. If anything they just need to pay out of pure guilt!
 
I GIS'd that photo and I wish I hadn't. I just hope his family never see it. They've suffered enough. They should remember him as a person, not a piece of meat. What kind of sick maniac would post that sort of thing online?

I want it to be fake, but the tats check out, and the cause of death as well. Hopefully it was quick and he didn't have to suffer for too long.

Sick maniacs post such photos to satisfy the demand created by sick maniacs who want to view it.

It's the same reason that police criminalise the downloading of paedophile images.

Has the penny dropped yet?
 
From a story in The Athletic, on the pilot Ibbotson:

“Ibbotson did not have a commercial flying licence and had £23,400 worth of county court judgments against him. The BBC reported that the pilot was also colour-blind and his licence restricted him to flying in daylight hours only. Ibbotson’s body has never been found.”

...


The nagging question is: “Could the death of my friend have been avoided?'”

For many experts, the answer is a resounding yes. Terry Tozer is a former airline pilot and his analysis is cutting.

Tozer told The Athletic: “There is no excuse and no defence at all for this flight to have taken place. Firstly, it is generally a major risk for a single-engine aircraft to fly over water. You should be flying a twin-engined plane, even in glorious conditions, because if the one packs up, you’re in the drink. You should also avoid having a single-crew operation, which increases the risk and the workload, even for a professional pilot.”

At 8.15pm, an hour into the flight, Ibbotson asked air traffic control to reduce the altitude from 5,000 to 2,300 ft. Tozer says: “As someone who has flown at altitude in cloud, it is very easy to become disorientated very quickly. A lot of bad decisions can happen. The pilot did not have a night rating or current instrument qualifications and therefore should not have flown at night or in cloud. This is particularly an issue if you are not instrument-qualified. You could do that flight in icy conditions because even when airborne, you could file up an instrument flight plan to get to a safe altitude even up to 25,000 ft to fly in commercial controlled airspace. But the pilot Ibbotson did not have the instrument qualification to do that.”

Tozer insists that an airport or airfield would not have a say as to whether a flight takes off. He explains: “The responsibility lies with the pilot in the cabin as to whether to fly. The airfield would not intervene; that is not what happens. If the weather is deemed too bad to fly, you should not go. But people suffer from Get-home-itis. Hundreds of private plane accidents take place because people have a promise to get somewhere at a certain time and therefore they feel pressurised and make bad decisions. The French authorities would only intervene if they were tipped off that a dangerous illegal flight is due to happen. There are no checks and balances at the airfield. It comes down to the pilot’s judgement.” “
