Thumbs up Jim:

A top bloke, And sorely missed>

As for CFIT! in bad weather under pressure some are lucky.

After nearly 30 yrs in the game, alot that I knew/got drunk with/Played hard with,have gone the same way, it has come as a shock when I just counted it up?

I and alot of others on here know of another chap,(Solies 94) turned the wrong way to circle and hold to allow a faster A/C to cross his track and continue its descent.

He flew into a mountain, that he knew was there.

To er is to be human, to live a life after a career in Aviation is to be Lucky.

The blokes that have gone before me "to hold my seat at the bar"! would want and expect me/us to learn from their mistakes.

Hence the investigative part, this needs to be sorted.

H/Snort.
