the aircraft was, just a few seconds before impact, seen at low level and high speed heading towards cloud covered hills. This was the negligence - defined as doing something which a reasonable person would not do, given the same circumstances.
J Purdey, (I hope you haven't flounced out of the argument) It was seen below cloud at an undetermined speed flying towards the Mull, which although cloud topped, would have allowed flight iaw the VFR for the aircraft type along the coast. That is not negligence, it's how SH are operated. I have done exactly that and do not consider myself negligent. What happened to prevent the turn along the coast is not, and will never be known.

Cazatou.

I am intrigued by your logic in only defending the Tornado crew in Decci because of the subsequent evidence found. The finding was a nonsense anyway. Yet here, with no firm evidence of anything you are not willing to extend the benefit of any doubt you must have to the pilots.
