I don't the nationalities of both both pilots but I wonder if they were both Asian whether the Asian trait of loss of face comes into the accident. If the P1 was senior to P2 was the P2 reluctant to call airspeed low? It wouldn't be the first time that has featured in a Far Eastern operator's accide...

A One-Eleven once arrived at EDI from LGW with a GS screwdriver in the intake. As it was lying across the Inlet Guide Vanes it never got sucked in.

Maybe an aid could be a tick box sheet that is checked as each vital is examined, like a cockpit check list. That wouls be better than some sort of electric warning device. It doesn't need a tick box Garry, it just needs log book entry to say the cowls have been opened. Especially after the number ...

I suspect when the RH cowl went on its merry...
