You have such a way with words.

May I draw your attention to the words of Lord Jauncy of Tullichettle in his opening remarks in the House of Lords debate 5 November 2002. To be fair to his Lordship; I would point out that these remarks were his response to a criticism from the MOD regarding the HOL Report.

"If the manner of flying was such that an aircraft was exposed to serious risk, one would have thought that a properly trained and competent pilot should forsee the probable consequences of incurring that risk. If the results were fatal or catastrophic, then I should have thought that he would be negligent"

I must confess that I was not present that evening but I presume that the Official HOL transcript is accurate. If that is so, then his Lordship and I are in complete agreement.
