Hi Cazatou,
I hope all is well with you.
Why is Mr Elacott's testimony deemed more important/compelling that that of the yachtsman, Mr Holbrook? If nothing else, both men's evidence should be afforded equal status?
The forward visibility towards the high ground immediately ahead would,therefore, have been extremely limited by aircraft attitude as well as the weather.
I doubt that would have been a long term flight profile.
My best, as always.
Brian
