Glad to see you’re widely read. Sorry it does take more than two hours; but it’s worth it. I think you’ll agree that the discussion is no longer about flying. It all boils down to legal questions about -

The standard of proof - ‘absolutely no doubt whatsoever’ – a very high standard; and
Evidence – distinguishing between fact and presumption, even though it is very convincing presumption.

It is not necessary to be convinced that the pilots could do no wrong. This point of view is appreciated but you don't have to hold this view in order to agree that the BoI was wrong.

On questions of law I bow to Law Lords every time.
