Re your post #4765

If you are going to quote my posts; would you please have the courtesy to quote the post in its entirety and not an extract edited to suit your point of view. You failed to include the following:

"The Chinook Pilots had an advantage over the other unfortunates who crashed on the Mull; they could have slowed to a walking pace until clear of the fog.

They did not do thatl"
Caz:

Please, get down off that high horse before you fall and hurt yourself...

I am doing nothing to "suit my point of view"... I really don't have one. I was offering a possible scenario to JP and found your description of the weather anomaly to be very well put. Rather than re-invent the wheel I used your description of the phenomena and gave appropriate credit for it.

One thing that does surprise me though is to find that you were in the cockpit that day. You'd have to have been to know they were actually in fog:-

they could have slowed to a walking pace until clear of the fog
No wonder you're so grumpy... Must have hurt like hell...

While I'm sure it will not be forthcoming your apology is accepted.
