If I'm not mistaken, AMSO himself from 1987 used to post here on the Mull of Kintyre thread for many years, saying the pilots were guilty as charged. He would never explain why, just throwing random accusations around, and IIRC never answered any questions from other posters. The book is astonishing and probably made Lord Philips job pretty easy.
