Let's just say the Harrier was "below the glidepath - not correcting" on his approach, hmmmm? A hint of pot to kettle, perhaps? The Sth Cerney incident was a particularly nasty and awful conclusion to a 'DZ inspection' and not condonable by any stretch. I remember reading about the F14(15?) crew that thought they would moon at FL 300+ and whilst off O2, inevitable hypoxia set in with fatal results. Let's not get too sanctimonious about this. Give a lad a Ferrari and tell him to pootle down to Tesco and he will, most of the time. Occasionally, however, he might want to explore his, and the machine's, limits more freely.
