  • Jack McKay's Inquest testimony...

    Daily Mail report...

    Argentina-born striker Emiliano Sala died alongside pilot David Ibbotson, 59, when the Piper Malibu aircraft crashed into the sea on January 21, 2019.


    Nothing new - but certainly protects the McKay family involvement

    Concludes by indicating the Inquest - before a jury - is due to last a month.

    Willie McKay not doing himself any favours at the inquest:



    Cathryn McGahey QC, representing Cardiff City FC, said: “We have heard the term ‘grey flights’ meaning flights by private planes that are not allowed to carry paying passengers that do carry paying passengers – because that’s what Mr Henderson was offering.

    “He had no commercial licence to carry paying passengers.”

    Willie McKay replied: “I never knew anything about his business, all I knew is that we’d phone him and ask him to take us somewhere.”

    The agent was read a statement from Mr Henderson alleging he had told Mr McKay the flights were private, and that he had no licence to act as an air taxi or run charter flights.

    Mr McKay said he had never heard this, and claimed he could not remember if he paid Mr Henderson in cash despite taking 20 flights with him over the previous 14 years.

    In an angry outburst, Mr McKay said: “This is a character assassination. I don’t want to hear any more of this, I came here to say what actually happened.”

    He denied ever meeting Mr Ibbotson, despite a text message he had allegedly sent him telling him to come to his house and collect £270 in cash.

    Ms McGahey said: “These are unofficial grey flights and you knew they were.”

    “I never knew anything about David Henderson’s business,” Mr McKay replied.

    Mr McKay had to be repeatedly interrupted by Coroner Rachael Griffin when he became angry about lines of questioning.

    At one point she was forced to remind him that contempt of court is an offence that can carry a sentence of imprisonment.

      Jack drops his old man in it by stating he acted as an intermediary.

        I was thinking that none of this would make a great deal of difference to a Coroner’s Hearing, but that last sentence put me right on that.

            Reading that latest update it looks like what one witness is saying contradicts what the electronic footprint is saying.

                  For sure, link him to Nantes fc also. I really hope he never gets his cut of that transfer fee, something like 2 million isn’t it?
