GWENT survivors of the Gerona air crash have dismissed a report into the tragedy as a "let-down".
The findings of an investigation into the 1999 Britannia Airways crash were briefed to passengers at a meeting in Cardiff yesterday.
A confidentiality agreement means details of the report by the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) must remain secret until it is published next week. But one Gwent survivor told the Argus she felt it did not provide enough answers.
Catherine Allaway, 35, of Ynysddu, near Blackwood, who was travelling with her daughter Kirsty, 13, at the time of the accident, said: "I don't feel as though I know any more now than I did this morning. I'm angry - after five years we deserve a proper explanation."
Elvet Morgan and his wife, Christine, from Blackwood, were also present at yesterday's meeting.
Mr Morgan said: "We are disappointed because we thought we might have had some more answers."
The Britannia Boeing 757, on a flight from Cardiff International airport, crashed on September 14 1999 while attempting to land at Gerona Airport in northern Spain amid a heavy storm.
Although a cockpit alarm twice warned the plane was landing too steeply, it hit the runway nose-wheel first, before breaking into pieces and coming to rest in a field.
