I.P Stop
Any offence that you have taken I apologise for, my post clearly points out I was not there, and I also pointed out that I did not know what caused the accident, and I made very clear reference to the PRESS RELEASE. I also stated that I was referring only to that medium and had seen NO other articles on the accident. If you think I was trying to make an accusation I apologise. There was no accusation. Merely that investigators would take that into account.
I was attempting to pass on some valuable lessons that I and I assume both of you have also experienced. I have flown with two ex British Army Pilots and have nothing but respect for both of them, I pointed out also that I had no knowledge of where the accident took place and that that may not even be an issue.
My pointing out of pilot over exuberance was merely to demonstrate some facts. If either of you have taken that as me trying to accuse Capt Hall of anything, again I apologise, to all pruners.
Ive lost mates in helos too.
