Please do comment on John Blakeley's excellent response, to your attempt to imply (with little basis in fact) criticisism of the crew.

one has to question whether the decision to conduct the flight in that way was a sound decision.
- "In the opinion of the Board, a forecast of a 30% probability of en-route weather below VFR limits was not sufficient to preclude an attempt at a VFR flight (my underlining). However, a suitable bad weather contingency plan would have been required."

t is ironic that the failure to conduct the required "outbrief" precluded the possibility of this being reviewed. Moreover, it also precluded any review of the crew duty considerations and its potential effect on aircraft availability should the aircraft be forced to nightstop outside the Province.
Today 13:39
- "….like the Board , I conclude that the crew’s outbriefing procedure at RAF Aldergrove had no relevance to the accident.

etc. etc. etc.....

You may care to respond to my earlier posting also???
