Far from petty points scoring, we now have positive evidence (from Jayteeto) that breakfast was eaten by the crew, thus putting to bed the rather lame notion that the crew was already negligent by having not eaten it.
Perhaps we could now fast forward to the issue of whether or not the crew was negligent to have continued towards the cloud-covered Mull, despite, according to the yachtsman, being in perfectly acceptable VMC over the Sea. JP seems unwilling to discuss this but it is something central to the argument of Messrs Wratten and Day that the crew was grossly negiligent.
Of course, 1 nm would be a bit too close for a fast jet pilot (like AM Wratten) to make a decision to turn up the coast at 420 kts+, but what about in a Chinook at 150 kts G/S?
