Bast0n,

Hello again. I was taken aback by your comment that you've always been against the verdict of Gross Negligence - that's not how I remembered your posts at all.

I just had a look back at pages 269/270/271, and you seem more than satisfied with the original verdict.

However, when I come to reply to your post, your suggestion that the verdict was unfair/disgraceful - can't remember the exact words you used - has gone.

Have you been reminded/remembered how you entered the thread?

In answer to BOAC's question - From your #5413:

These are the "known facts" he was asking you to confirm, I believe.
You also stated the Airworthiness of the aircraft was irrelevant in your #5390

Has your position on any of this changed?

Kind regards,

TN
