Let me suggest to you that the general BROKEN cloudbase in the IMMEDIATE vicinity of the high ground of the Mull was approximately 300' ASL, and the visibility below this level was of the order of 5km.

Let me suggest to you that witnesses on that high ground reported they were IN cloud

Let me suggest to you that a yachtsman approximately 2 miles from the accident site was in bright sunshine, and he "SAW" this Chinook flying in those SAME bright conditions.

Finally let me suggest that, in the very final stages of their approach to the Mull, at 200-400' ASL, Flt Lts Tapper and Cook, were operating ZD576 in VMC, and in strict accordance with the rules for VFR.

And further, that they should have been perfectly able to continue in that manner.

What have I suggested that is INCOMPATIBLE with the FACTUAL evidence?

"Er, well, yes"

I know you don't like it, just show me the EVIDENCE (not opinions!) to refute my suggestions!

If only they'd had an FDR, or CVR - But they didn't, did they!
