I've no particular desire to get myself or Proon on the receiving end of a writ, so I'll be careful what I say : but I do wonder what part money had to play in the tragic tale. I just wonder if there were any financial pressures on anyone to complete this recovery flight ...

This is also the second report I've read recently where wrong altimeter settings may well have played a part in proceedings. I don't quite understand how two pilots, actively considering very low flight, and obviously in decent verbal comms with ATC can have got that so wrong - even given that I can well imagine the increasing sense of panic which must have been setting in once they realised just how deep in the mire they were, poor souls.

Sad, sad, sad. RIP.
