CHINOOK
Brian Dixon. I appreciate your courteous response, but please say what uncertainties exist about the fact that this aircraft continued towards the hills when the rules of airmanship said that the crew should not do so. This fact was the negligence, nothing to do with why they did so.
And, to pre-empt another intervention from Ark Royal, if he will forgive me, I know those sinister slopes as well as most of us do. The mere thought of approaching them without being absolutely certain without any doubt whatsoever of one's exact postion gives me the heebie-jeebies.
This whole story now has more more smoke about it than Krackatoa, and more red herrings than a Soviet fishing fleet. But facts are facts.
