It does make you wonder, if they are asking people not to spectculate then why publicise the arrest

Before we had instant social media and 24 hour news channels did they notify the public of arrests ?

If you don't want people to use his name then charge him.

Sub judice takes precident.

it's like catnip isn't it?

The wife just asked me “so who would it be then”. I said, I don’t know but Flyer will tell us within minutes

The Times are now reporting that it’s Dave Henderson.

So I guess all of the requests from the police to keep the speculation to a minimum have short of gone out of the window, that didn't take long

Firstly, publicising the person’s age or, indeed, their gender doesn’t help in preventing speculation does it?

Secondly, if all published age information thus far has been accurate, one could speculate about at least two names who can be ruled out or is negative speculation also inappropriate?

Ah... But in light of The Times article, we are no longer speculating, merely commenting on news reports

Ah, but perhaps said news report is speculative, based on information published in previous news reports?

I couldn’t possibly comment.

A bit more speculation. I wonder how many others are waiting for their collar to be felt?

David Henderson's name was on a flight plan submitted to Nantes airport on Monday - the day of the journey - before it was cancelled and replaced with a second plan with David Ibbotson named as the pilot, officials have revealed.

Another source also claimed that Mr Henderson's passport was scanned at the airport on Monday, despite the experienced pilot categorically denying any involvement with Sala's flight.

Mr Henderson, 60, from York, told MailOnline he had not been in France, adding: 'I have not been to Nantes for one year.'

The Daily Mail are pretty hopeless at getting their facts right on aviation stories (or indeed any kind of story). The following is an article they wrote about an airprox a few years ago https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... pilot.html

The Mail, the Express, the Sun, the Star and the Times are less use than the Beano if you want anything factual....The Telegraph and Mirror are not far behind either...….
