It was against the better judgement of the crew ( CVR discussion ) prior to engine start, was I suspect ‘pressure’ from the owner who came on board later than planned to return to Northern Ireland.
A very wealthy man, who invariably was use to getting his own way, oblivious to the potential dangers of the conditions
Quite so. The AAIB stated at the inquest that had the helicopter been at a licensed aerodrome, it would not have been allowed to take off in such fog.
