The probability that I was espousing was that had basic DR nav been followed, I don't know basic DR Nav wasn't followed but it's my hypothesis that it wasn't, what ever happened/did not happen in the aircraft in those last few minutes it would not have been so close to the Mull for it to have struck it. It may have fallen in the sea, it may have recovered to controlled flight - any one of dozens of possibilities. I like your reasoned replies and I wish you all the best.
Sir,
It's a great shame you cannot persuade JP or Caz with regards to your creditable and very sensible supposition.............I hope you dont mind but I added the green bits as I thought the words gave a little more clarity to your theory.
