pulse1 - Poor old
PercyD! Despite his 8000 hours blah, blah, blah, he seems quite unable to get his mind round the simple fact that no-one has ever tried to deny that the accident MAY have been due to negligence. Alas, I expect we will never know. The whole issue is one of "burden of proof". Until there is absolutely no doubt, you cannot attach "Negligence" to the Aircrew involved. So far, five investigations have now suggested that "doubt" exists in bucket-fulls! I, and others far, far more learned and eminent than myself, think the Acid Test has failed. But poor old
Percy can't quite figure that one out. And with all those hours under his belt too! Sad really. <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
