http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho ... 31220.htmlAerospace firm Airbus has been fined £200,000 for health and safety failings which led to the death of a pensioner who fell from a gantry at a Concorde exhibition in Bristol.
Horace Livall, 71, plunged 16ft to the ground from the gantry as he was about to take a photograph of his daughter Julie during a tour of the supersonic aircraft in September 2004, two months after it opened.
He fell through the one-metre wide gap between the access gantry and the fuselage at Filton Airport, rolled off a wing and died in hospital from serious chest and head injuries.
Bristol Crown Court heard that Airbus and charity Bristol Aero Collection (BAC), who both ran the visitor centre, were warned several times about gaps between the access to the decommissioned Concorde in the months before the accident.
RIP Another Concorde victim
