A friend of a pilot who died during an air display at Old Buckenham of an undetected heart condition has described him as a “precise” and “talented pilot”.
Willie Cruickshank, who was on the same Wildcat Aerobatics display team as David Jenkins, 61, and saw the crash last April, said the Air Accidents Investigation Branch report had confirmed his thoughts Mr Jenkins was not believed to be at fault.
“There was nothing technological in the aeroplane; it identifies that David was a highly professional pilot – he was never a rule-breaker,” said Mr Cruickshank.
Scylla, the world's largest offshore vessel, has been "jacked up" in the Great Yarmouth Outer Harbour.
Its 105 metre (115 yards) legs have lifted the vessel off the surface of the sea, to leave an air gap of 40 metres (44 yards).
This is the height it will be working at when it helps to construct a windfarm off the coast of Germany.

An inquest into the death of an aerobatics pilot at a south Norfolk airfield is to be held on 24 March.
David Jenkins died when his Edge 360 plane crashed at Old Buckenham in April last year.
Willie Cruickshank, a friend of Mr Jenkins, said he "watched the crash unfold and along with many others who were there... experienced pilots... our assessment at the time was there was no attempt to recover from the manouevre, which led to the crash and led us to believe perhaps David was incapacitated."

Motorists in Great Yarmouth are being warned to expect delays in the town centre until the weekend at least, while engineers continue to carry out repairs on a water main near Haven Bridge which burst earlier this week.
Essex and Suffolk Water, external said investigations into the cause were continuing, and the leak wasn't necessarily linked to an incident last week when a piece of machinery fell off an HGV on South Quay.
