The Yachtsman, in his ORIGINAL evidence to the BOI stated that he was "2NM SW of the Mull" and that the visibility was "1 NM limited by haze".
The Hillwalker, Mr Ellacott, stated " I heard the sound of a propellor going around for about four or five seconds and then I heard an explosion...... Visibility at this time was only about nine or ten feet maximum". "It was difficult to say how far I was from the explosion, but I don't think I could have been any more than 100 yards."
