Since Mr H is clearly reading this (judging from news articles):
Please take onboard the valid comments on here, and stop blaming everyone but yourself. Sure, there may be mitigating circumstances, but we all know that accidents often have more than one single cause, some of which appear exacerbated by airmanship.
We're all here to keep each other safe; we are not here to pander to
PR and the media who will subjectively quote without understanding the larger picture. Comments here will help improve everyone's safety if they are taken onboard.
If, for example, you knew the aircraft to have fuel feed issues, particularly if advised by maufacturers, it is your responsibility to add sufficient margin.
Neither are "weird clouds" an excuse: unforecast winds and their effect on fuel consumption would be spotted if flight planning contained ETAs, and late ETAs resulted in recalculation of ground speed and fuel remaining.
All these are complex, but within the syllabus of the PPL; there is no shame in asking if you forget certain aspects of the syllabus post-PPL at your local flying club, indeed you should be doing so in the post-PPL stage.
While clearly we don't know all the facts, there is a large body of factual evidence of airmanship from fellow users of Scottish, and an abandonment of reason in going down the "Biggle landing" route, contrary to all PPL training.
Take note, Mr H, and good luck for the recovery. And stop talking to the media. It is that which irks people most in this case.
