I’m sure Ray won’t mind me saying that when we spoke on the phone a few days after the accident both he and I had trouble just accepting that Mark stalled on final through simple inattention or lack of skill.
When I asked Ray about what manoeuvres Mark had done before turning final it seemed to me that there was a chance that a residual vortex from his high g pull could have been lurking in the area. I put Ray in touch with the RAE guys I used to work with on the behaviour of such trailing vortices close to the surface and was pleased to see the Spanish report did not rule out the possibility that Mark might have tripped over one.
