BOAC. Your "Thus logic surely suggests that WHICHEVER coastal feature they had seen, it would have shown where the coast was, behind which lies land?" Absolutely right; but unfortunately the land behind one of the two features (lighthouse, fog station) was something like 300 feet higher than it was behind the other.
Brian Dixon. I have said before, I decline to jump aboard your caroussel. I can quite see that you are anxious to keep the subject afloat, but after SofS had comprehensively turned down your very detailed dossier, I really think you might give it a rest!
With good wishes, and my respect for your tenacity and loyalty to the dead crew,
