Don't forget the Scilly's S61 crash in 83...not offshore oil but offshore crew on detachment..CFIT into the sea in poor vis. 20 killed.

Nothing went particularly wrong with the approach, but it was that last minute, from approach to landing, from an instrument biased approach to a visual manoeuver to land that went awry - And that is something that will always be there to bite us.
Totally agree. That's why it's the final hands on visual ref. part that we all need to be practised in.
