Your post -
How do you know the aircraft was serviceable? No-one else does.
My post 4687
No I did not say that it was or was not serviceable. I was just getting down to the basic fact that the aircraft - in fog - flew into a rock. As in all things in life there is no absolute certainty. There are however very strong probabilities. The probability that I was espousing was that had basic DR nav been followed, 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.
Dear old SH fellow - if you read my posts I never postulated that the aircraft was serviceable or unserviceable. It may have been either/or. Whatever its serviceability state it still was flown by someone into a rock.

I grow tired of folks turning up thinking they have all the answers
and some of us get politely a little tired of people not reading our posts and assimilating the content.

Good evening.
