PJ,
I agree with your posting .. it is what it is.
I posted on a previous thread alas the thread was closed down. Hopefully not because of what I said. I assume not as I did not receive any cautionary PM's from a moderator.
I knew the pilot many years ago, he is an agro person and a loner. Mind you it all depends in which context you know the person.
I always believed the coroner erred in his decision on the death of the said pilot's first wife. But the coroner can only base his decision on the information placed before him.
