Winch Control. Spot on.
Just about everything mentioned recently is speculation.
What is not?
The likes of Tucumseh and company have clearly showed that the aircraft was not airworthy.
Sqn Ldr Burke has given us proven examples of dangerous faults with this mark of aircraft. The possibility of any of these faults occuring on this particular flight has never been disproved.
Was the aircraft serviceable. Who knows?
Was the weather suitable. Only witness (who could see the aircraft), Holbrook says yes.
What was the actual route planned? Were the Waypoints plotted exactly where the crew thought they were? Was equipment fitted (authorised or otherwise) for the crew to make an IMC approach at the Mull? Did they attempt it? Did it contribute to the accident???
The aircraft was not airworthy and prone to dangerous proven faults.
Everything else is speculation.
