Agree with you totally for once, Mike.
twinact, I did say a while back, that to the best of my knowledge and memory that the limits for NI based aircraft (wherever they were) was COCISS and 1k vis.
They were flying quite legally under JSP318, modified by local crab rules.
No conspiracy of silence, old chap, just 10 long years of memory degradation.
Mike, it's probably your rather bombastic tone which is ruffling feathers here. Perhaps you'd like to analyse your quote yourself:
"However, after careful consideration, the Board concluded that the most probable cause of the accident was that the crew selected an inappropriate ROC to safely overfly the Mull of Kintyre"
Where in this does any basis for the finding of gross negligence arise, let alone
The cause of the crash has been established
