Chinook
ArkRoyal.
Like you and just about everyone else, I devoutly wish that the finding did not stand. But the unpleasant fact is that all the evidence we have points to the conclusion of negligence - high speed, low level, in cloud, aircraft under control and so on. Please show us the facts, I said facts, that point conclusively in any other direction.
I first took an objective interest in this tragedy because, as an experienced aviator myself, I could not believe that some of the explanations being floated were serious ones (sabotage; controls suddenly jam and the magically free themselves just before impact ,are two of them. Now we quibble about lines on maps, saying in effect that they mean nothing).
Yes, we have been here before, and I appreciate that the game-plan of the Mull Group is to keep the balls in the air, but we are not only going round in circles, but going round in the same circles! Regards, as always. JP
