I agree with Three Yellows, its a terrible shame but should not put anyone off.
I too was planning a flight this weekend but out to the Western Isles, it seemed obvious with the weather info available that this was not a good idea, so while this poor chap hit the mountain I was sitting at home in front of the fire.
I am not for one moment suggesting any superior judgement, only that we must learn from others and having learned to fly in Scotland I have learned a lot about mountain weather, some of it at the high cost of other pilots.
