Responsibility for Aircraft Accidents – Press and Journal

SIR – I fully agree with Lyndsey Ward’s letter (P & J, March 30) since the
MoD knows its aircraft best.

One must remember these aircraft, like the Tornado and the Typhoon, are
capable of very low speeds at very low levels. They are capable of flying
fast at lower levels than the height of these towers.

It must be remembered that an aircraft travelling at 480mph at 200ft is
covering eight miles per minute.

If an aircraft is brought down, and the crew killed in such a horrific
accident, maybe these councillors and the wind turbine operators should be
charged.

It would make them more responsible for their actions and answerable to the
courts for their actions.
