A typically arrogant post from a BA Nigel who obviously knows all.

I'll ask for your advice next time i need to know how to suck eggs.

I was merely pointing out the conclusion of the report was that the controller was at fault in this incident, the other layers you have mentioned have no bearing on that.

If the Ryan had been taxiing more slowly it might not have happened, if the Airbus had had his lights on it might not have happened. Had the controller not got it wrong it would not have happened, the Ryan having confirmed his clearance to DZ1 short of 06L.

From your last comment i take it you stop at a green light to make sure it's safe prior to proceding, making you a hazard to road safety

Must get back to my Flt Sim now......
