Mr Dixon, I am disappointed in you.
You know full well that what the AOCinC wrote was: ‘Why they therefore elected to ignore the safe options open to them and pursue the one imposing the ultimate danger, we shall never know’.
We know what the pilots did, Mr Dixon. What we shall never know is why.
We know they were negligent, Mr Dixon. The mystery is why.
Your inclination to isolate some the AOCinC’s words to suit your purpose may well persuade those who are not intimately familiar with the detail. I’m afraid you do not misdirect those of us who are.
