Piston Broke, there may be some truth in what you say although I am unsure why you think that low flying rules were broken, the WX limits for SH are surprisingly low. As you can see, the more you think about this the more doubt there is. I agree, perhaps the sortie should not have gone. So why were the crew grossly negligent for going as ordered? As I implied, being unable to defend themselves they were the softest target.
