Very Sad, I used to fly the 406 for Martini many years ago flying the same routes.
Best regard to his family

Very sorry to hear about this. I'm sure it hits a tightly knit outfit very hard. Hope you're all bearing up, Luke. My sympathies.

I'm shocked, and anyone that knew the type of guy Tim was will mourn his loss greatly. Thanks for the memories Tim. Thanks for all the good times and memories in Fort Pierce, Fla and for christmas in Dublin '99.
My sincere and heart felt condolences to his fiance and family.
R.I.P. Tim Cook.

Very sorry to hear this... I didn't know Tim, but I've flown in the area where he went down myself, and I've heard a lot of good things about Highland - met a couple of the guys in Inverness last summer. Thinking of you folks tonight, Luke...

The AAIB report, though comprehensive, sheds little light on this. Any further insight on what causes an apparently perfectly serviceable twin handled by a competent pilot to depart from controlled flight?

I'm not quite clear what insight you expect to get... the AAIB report details the evidence, and it doesn't add up to a hell of a lot except negatives, even reading between the lines... despite the best efforts sometimes there just is no good explanation.

Fair enough, R1.
There are sometimes lessons to be learnt from discussion amongst those familiar with the aircraft type, the route or the nature of the work which go beyond what the AAIB can reasonably be expected to investigate and report. It would seem a pity to learn nothing from this tragedy, even if we cannot reach a conclusion on cause with any certainty.
