SHOREHAM AIR CRASH: SUSSEX POLICE HIGH COURT APPLICATION ONLY FILM FOOTAGE FROM INSIDE VINTAGE JET CAN BE HANDED TO POLICE
CPS Statement: Today Wednesday 28 September), the High Court handed down its judgment in the case between the Chief Constable of Sussex Police and the Secretary of State for Transport.
Sussex Police applied to the High Court for the disclosure of records that are given a protected status in law.
The Secretary of State did not resist the application, since he considers it to be a matter for the Court to decide whether disclosure should be made in cases such as these.
Sussex Police applied for the disclosure of:
- Statements made by the pilot to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch in response to discussions or interviews;
- Film footage of the flight which was made by cameras which had been installed on the aeroplane in question on a voluntary basis; and
- Material which has been produced by various other people subsequently, such as experiments conducted and tests done on various aspects of the accident.
The order to disclose materials is subject to a number of conditions.
A spokesperson for the Air Accidents Investigation Branch said:
“The AAIB is not able to release protected air accident investigation records of its own accord. Only the High Court can allow for their release. We note today’s judgment and will now release the film footage to the Chief Constable of Sussex Police.”

Air Pakistan senior steward Shaukat Ali Cheema,59, as reported by the Birmingham Mail, jailed for five years who attempted to smuggle into the UK, 26 passports, 37 biodata passport pages and 13 driving licences all concealed in his specially adapted underpants. |
Julian Bray reports: According to the National Crime Agency (NCA) Fake passports and a variety of European identity cards are being seized in greater numbers at small regional airports, from an increasing influx of air passengers, who in reality are migrants attempting to illegally enter the UK.
Clearly the flow should have been stopped at the departure point, before the aircraft took to the skies, but due to the pressure of loading, backhanders, and despatching aircraft within a small turnaround time slot, many passengers, admittedly with valid boarding cards, are being let through on a daily basis.
The problem is highlighted as security at Calais is tightened and professional traffickers seek to find other access routes into the UK. Many of the passports being discovered are real, but stolen, and have little more than a change of photograph pasted in, covered with clear sticky back plastic.
It is possible to buy on the 'dark web' a passport for as little as 700 euros. Gangs of Albanian pickpockets are known to work the major European capitals, and tourists are always an easy source of supply.

OH NO, ITS A GREY BULL! UK MONARCH GOING BUST? WORRIED CUSTOMERS GET A LACKLUSTRE STATEMENT AS SALE ADVISORS DEUTCHE BANK IS ALSO 'SEEKING A BAIL OUT'.
Possibly better late than never. Monarch finally get around to releasing an official rebuttal to the weekends shock financial rumours... Julian Bray will be discussing the latest position live on BBC Three Counties Radio at 17:10hrs on Monday
![]() |
Deutsche Bank were charged with urgently finding a buyer for Monarch Airlines, fat chance now the seemingly troubled Bank itself is in the media spotlight for all the wrong reasons.... |
Monarch OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Monday September 26 2016
Over the weekend, there has been negative speculation about Monarch’s financial health.
Monarch is trading well and is expected to achieve an EBITDA of over £40m at the end of this financial year (October 2016). This is despite a difficult period for the holiday industry due to terrorist incidents, Brexit and the resulting devaluation of sterling.
Our flights are operating as normal, carrying Monarch customers as scheduled.
To weather tougher market conditions and to fund its ongoing growth, Monarch expects to announce a significant investment from its stakeholders in the coming days.
UK budget airline Monarch has been forced to deny a growing number of rumours, that its flying days are numbered, about to cease trading and set to call in administrators. Passengers meanwhile are taking to Twitter for urgent reassurance, their future booked seats are indeed safe.
Speculation began to circulate on Sunday, over several social media boards, that the airline, was ceasing operations.
Julian Bray Aviation expert commented: The airline maintains the social media tweets are just a series of unfounded rumours....it would have helped their case, if the airline had immediately blitzed the media with formal press statements (even though, it was a Sunday) rather than just leaked tweets sent to worried customers....a City PR consultants head may roll for this lapse... it turns out that Bell Pottinger, are the tardy City PR firm in the frame.
Who are the mysterious and very private backers, and how did the City rumours start? Julian Bray looks at the background:
Greybull purchased ninety percent of Monarch Holdings Ltd, a UK airline, trading as Monarch, on October 25, 2014, in return for a £50m capital commitment, the remaining 10 percent passing directly to Monarch's pension scheme.
Greybull Capital's partner Marc Meyohas, said at the time: "We are delighted to acquire Monarch and invest our capital into a very strong brand with great potential"
On the back of Greybull's investment, the airline then secured £125m of capital and liquidity facilities, but at a price. The airline had to restructure, reducing its aircraft fleet by 8 from 42 to 34. The payroll was slimmed down with some 700 redundancies, and overall fairly harsh wage and salary reductions.
The FT reported: Since Greybull bought Monarch, the travel airline has been transformed. Monarch in 2015 delivering its first profit in three years.
Greybull amazingly employed Deutsche Bank in April 2016 - itself possibly on the verge of a bail out (see end note ***)- to 'explore strategic options for Monarch Airlines', including growth opportunities in Europe and/or possibly selling it.
Monarch Airlines were also seeking in June 2016 to secure an additional financial facility of £35m, either from Greybull or a third party, and it could be a combination of the Deutsche Bank feelers being put out, and the series of poor investment decisions Greybull has made recently.
Morrisons sold M local to a team led by retail entrepreneur Mike Greene from Peterborough, backed by Greybull Capital, for £25m.
The deal incurring a loss of about £30m. Under Greybull, 140 of the convenience stores were rebranded ‘My Local’, safeguarding jobs of the 2,300 staff.
M local's operating loss for 2014 was £36m, so Greybull put My Local into administration in June 2016, just nine months after buying it.
Ninety stores closed, and more than 1,200 shop workers laid off, some allegedly without redundancy pay.
The remaining thirty five stores sold off. Morrisons then offered to rehire former employees, who lost their jobs.
Part of the sale to Greybull involved Morrisons guaranteeing some store rents if the business collapsed. So Morrisons was left with a potential liability of some £20m.
Earlier deals were somewhat rocky.
![]() |
Graybull Capitals COMET store all boarded up just months into the rescue deal. |
Comet’s demise caused the loss of more than 6,000 British jobs
Greybull Capital, which has invested many millions of pounds in attempts to rescue some of Britain’s best-known retail brands.
Greybull alarmingly backed the abortive buyouts of Comet, the electrical goods chain; Game Group, the computer games retailer; and Rileys, the snooker hall business.
Until now, almost nothing was known about the two brothers behind it, Marc and Nathaniel Meyohas, but their recent involvement and the subsequent financial failure has cause the reclusive financiers to come reluctantly into the glare of the media spotlight.
Hopefully Greybull will quickly find a buyer for Monarch, if only to remove the continuing uncertainty surrounding the airline.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH A PROBLEM LIKE.... DEUTCHE BANK Mrs MERKYL?
Monarch Airlines might also wish to consider the German government is considering injecting billions into beleaguered Deutsche Bank,the advisors packing up the troubled airline for possible sale (!) German media outlets are heavily suggesting, but this is just hours after the politicians insisting there would be no state-backed bailout of the bank.
German newspaper Die Welt has since revealed the government is undertaking contingency planning to assess how it could step in to save the bank from financial collapse - an event which could trigger shockwaves through Europe's financial system and wreak more havoc than the demise of Lehman Brothers in 2008, analysts have warned.

NOW SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 COMES UNDER FIRE BY AVIATION REGULATOR
![]() |
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 |
A Samsung smartphone stored in an overhead baggage compartment on an Indian plane emitted smoke in mid-flight on Friday. India's aviation regulator has confirmed, due to the prompt action of cabin crew there was no damage and the aircraft landed safely
Passengers on board an IndiGo flight smelled and saw smoke coming from the overhead baggage bin, alerted cabin crew who opened it up and were met with sparks and acrid smoke coming from a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phone. The airline, is owned by InterGlobe Aviation,
Flight crew used a fire extinguisher and then put the phone in a container filled with water. The IndiGo flight was on its way to Chennai from Singapore.
The regulator formally described the incident as a suspected fire however the airline said there had been no fire.
Samsung had earlier issued a worldwide recall for its new Note 7 smartphone this month due to faulty batteries causing the device to catch fire while charging and in normal use.
There have been no previous reports of problems with the Note 2 model, first released in 2012. Samsung is looking into Friday's incident, a company spokesman said: "We are in touch with relevant authorities to gather more information."
India's aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), is to send an advisory to airlines warning passengers to keep all Samsung Note smartphones switched off during flights or avoid carrying the phones on commercial jets altogether, a spokesman said.
The DGCA has called Samsung representatives to its office in New Delhi on Monday to discuss the incident.
Regulators and airlines in several countries, including the United States and China, have now issued a series of warnings to air travellers to keep Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones turned off and unplugged during flights.
Asked about the incident in India, a spokesman for Europe’s air safety regulator, the European Aviation Safety Agency, referred to previous guidance stating passengers should inform cabin crew if any electronic device is damaged, hot, produces smoke, is lost, or falls into the seats.
It has advised airlines to tell passengers not to turn on or charge their Galaxy Note 7s when on board.

AMAZON PLC FOUND GUILTY, FINED £65,000, AT SOUTHWARK COURT OF ATTEMPTING TO SHIP DANGEROUS GOODS BY AIR JUST WEEKS AFTER IATA LAUNCH MAJOR LITHIUM BATTERY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
Amazon plc has been found guilty of attempting to ship dangerous goods by air, including lithium-ion batteries and flammable aerosols between the years 2014 and 2015. The firm was fined £65,000 at Southwark Crown Court .
It was found guilty earlier today at Southwark Crown Court of causing dangerous goods to be delivered for carriage in an aircraft in breach of air navigation rules.
The prosecution had been brought by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) under the Air Navigation (Dangerous Goods) Regulations 2002.
During a Royal Mail routine screening they were discovered when the cargo was seized before departure, and before they were loaded on board the aircraft.
Southwark Court heard that Amazon had tried to ship a lithium-ion battery to Jersey on a day before 7 January 2014, and a flammable gas aerosol to Romania on a similar date.
Another shipment, destined for Ireland on a day before 17 July 2014, contained another aerosol, while Amazon illegally tried to send two more lithium-ion batteries to Northern Ireland between 12 May and 3 June 2015.
The CAA's general counsel, Kate Staples, said: "There are important international and domestic restrictions to prohibit the shipping of certain goods that pose a flight safety risk.
"We are constantly working to further improve and will continue to work with the CAA in this area."
Julian Bray aviation expert comments: It was only in August this year, reported by this blog, that IATA launched a major campaign to raise awareness of the hazards of lithium battery shipments, more particularly ones they term 'rogue shippers'
Governments must urgently clamp down on Rogue Lithium Battery Shippers says IATA
