Apology accepted!
Please don't think I'm getting at you when I say that captain Buck was quite correct in what he said. Irrespective of the weather phenomena and whether ATC warned the crew, most aircraft these days are equipped with weather radar; but his most telling statement is the fact that, in the event that the crew does not have the required visual reference at DH(DA)
there's no further decision to make - the aircraft immediately commences a GO AROUND. After that the crew may either decide to make another approach or set course for their diversion airfield.
I take due note of all your other comments regarding Sosoliso's culpability or otherwise in the matter of the spare parts and the accompanying documentation and agree that this needs further investigation.
