By two sides I mean one person’s recollection of an incident against the indesputable facts of the incident. We only have to look at ground witness statements to any accident you care to mention and you will find that statements vary vastly eg it was on fire; bits were falling off before it plunged, plumetted or fell; the engine sounded rough etc Whilst one would not expect highly experienced aircrew to express such wild views it can happen and they would all swear that their recollections were facts. Could this be what happened here? The handling pilot’s recollection of events was wildly at odds with the facts? This, of course, would mitigate the integrity question. However I still can’t reconcile this against physical interaction of armrest, camera, stick and arm/hand. Then the question of why were the images deliberately deleted from the camera’s memory card. However I’m just spitballing and have to recognise and respect the verdict of the court.
