JB - an excellent and searching letter to WW - have you tried resending it?

Check your figures, the SAlt for the leg from the Mull WP to Corran (that they had selected on the TANS) was approx 6500ft - a lot higher if you take into account Min Safe FL and quadrantals. My training would have had me at or above that SAlt before I got to the WP (unless using an emergency climb). Flying around at 3500ft towards the area of Ben Nevis would indeed have been gross negligence - which apparently, Day and Wrotten endorse! That's even before you consider the icing limitation.
