I feel rather annoyed today.

I watched the repeated episode this morning and it featured the plane which sank in the river Derwent and was piloted by Sipan Osman.

Mr. Osman died in another plane crash a year later.

The BBC reported it online (at least) so they were hardly unaware.

In my view.....disrespectful not to even mention his death.

I agree with you Sue, I watched the programme but hadn't seen it before and didn't know the man had died.

Yes they are repeats as I said. Therefore no excuse not to mention his demise.
