Tapper's Dad,
I'm aircrew at Kinloss and I'm sure that is a question that most of us have asked ourselves, unfortunately as you have stated it is purely speculation. Knowing the crew, I know they would have done all they could and am sure some of them would have still been fighting it during the rapid descent. Thoughts are with yourself and your family Mr Knight and other friends/family of those who were taken from us on that horrible day. RIP 120 -3
