Chinook
PKPF68-77. Welcome to the discussion, though I am puzzled by what you say about the weather conditions over the Mull and in that whole area. Ten independent witnesses, including the lighthouse keeper (a trained observer) said that they were in cloud/fog on those hillsides. The hills were thus in IMC. As the Chinook approached the coast, the crew must have seen those conditions ahead of them and should therefore have turned away. It had been suggested some weeks back on this thread that perhaps the crew could not see clearly ahead (salt spray on the windscreens perhaps?), but in that case the crew should still have turned away in the interest of their own safety.
