It'd be helpful if you gave your posts a little thought before hitting the keys, and a re read to see if they make sense before sending.
Do I understand you, that you disagree with Brian's assertion that if you are in fog, then the weather more than a few yards away from you is unknown to you? He is obviously correct.
The chinook was flying in clear air, visible to the Yachtsman, Mr Holbrook; who could also see the lighthouse. It would seem that the orographic cloud was just a little higher on the land mass of the mull.
The pilots have done nothing wrong either legally, or in terms of duty of care up until now.
For some reason, the aircraft entered the cloud and hit the mull.
In order to find them guilty of gross negligence, you need to find out exactly why that occurred, to a standard of proof of 'absolutely no doubt whatsoever'. The whole thrust of this campaign is that that proof does not exist.
It's no good saying you think they did this, or did that. PROOF is required.
As Tandem says:
If only they'd had an FDR, or CVR - But they didn't, did they!
