There was remarkable unanimity in the evidence regarding the weather given by the nine eyewitnesses (2 of whom were qualified Met Observers) who were on the Mull at the time of the crash and gave evidence to the BOI. The Yachtsman was not aware of the crash until some hours later. It should be remembered that his evidence to the BOI was that his position, when he saw the Chinook, was 2 NM SW of the Mull and the visibility was "1NM limited by haze".
Mr Ellacott estimated he was no more than "100 yards" from the crash site and he stated "Visibility at this time was only about nine or ten feet maximum."
