Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) bulletin on this incident (it's the first report on page 3). Posting mirrors first so we don't crash a little gov site if this gets popular.

> a little gov site

it's the main website for the UK government, not sure if mistaken or a sly little dig at the UK.

That doesn't necessarily mean it isn't just an old laptop in a cupboard somewhere in Whitehall with the network cable duct taped on so that the cleaner doesn't accidentally disconnect it.

With a sticker saying "Beware of the leopard".

In a locked disused lavatory in the basement?

No, not since a minor civil servant was sent armed with a cheap biro to cross that out and write the word 'austerity', after May hunted down the leopard for shoes.

No dig, just mistaken. I wasn't paying close attention to the URL and thought the report was hosted by a possibly smaller UK gov site. Didn't realize it was THE main gov.uk site!

If I could edit my original comment to give precedence to the original report link, I would!

gov.uk is the British government "everything" site, regularly featured here for their technical and design approach. I'm sure they'll be able to handle whatever traffic is thrown at them for a couple of PDFs.

  assets.publishing.service.gov.uk is an alias for www-gov-uk.map.fastly.net.

Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't paying close attention to the URL and thought the report was hosted by a possibly smaller UK gov site. Didn't realize it was THE main gov.uk site!

If I could edit my original comment to give precedence to the original report link, I would!

Thanks for posting the links.

You're welcome!
