I don’t know if Courtney meant it this way but his comment sums up the scope of the “Campaign” rather well!
.
A security team gets whacked, the drivers get the blame, and the obvious forum for discussion on the topic is constrained to just getting their names cleared – or as Courtney’s post implies, cleared a bit because, I say, clearing their names on a legal technicality is not getting them full justice.
.
There is plenty of evidence, real and circumstantial, that they were involved in an activity near a landing area on the Mull that has not been disclosed;
And the conduct of the various inquiries gives the impression of a cover up - a particular example being the weather situation whereby helicopter crew in the area at the time were not called upon in the BOI; the conditions that the crew of ZD576 were in were misrepresented fundamentally, having that they were in bad met conditions when in fact they were in clear air, but with the features of the immediate landmass obscured by mist right on that landmass – a problem of judging range to it that would not have been a problem if they had not been approaching it closely with a purpose.
Quite different to the scenario of a crew disorientated within cloud.
