Pprune radar, that sounds very similar to yesterday when I was up. Ben Vorlich (spelling?) and the like were shrouded in mist, and the winds were very strong - you could certainly believe the weather guesser's prediction of 28 knot+ gusts. I've never flown into Oban before (just overflys from my plank days), so all that, plus the surrounding terrain, was a big factor in my decision to go have lunch elsewhere and leave that for another day.
Report on the news is that the aircraft in question had a 'rapid descent' from 5000 ft according to ATC. Sorry if its still a bit raw to ask this question, but I just wonder
what went wrong that day??
Just really, really sad all round. The fact a child was involved makes it a lot worse IMHO. I know it shouldn't, but as a proud dad, for me it just does.
