V2..... Mine and I think Skidbita's opinion is based on the probable cause and should not to be confused with evidance. Due to the extent of the dammage to the aircraft, no conclusions could have been possiblely made on his fuel handling at the time of the loss of power. I also think that anyone around at the time would have formed the same opinion as we have. I can not accept that a young, fit and diligent pilots' judgement would have been affected by booze or drugs so late in his working day. He had been working all day and the tragedy occured after 5:00PM.
He did however make an error of judgement by turning back (in my opinion).
