The weather was out of limits for Low Flying....that wasn't low flying, that was grubbing.
You boys on the 'hang-the-guilty-junior-officers' side of the fence can't have it both ways. Were they flying at a dangerously high speed into IMC or were they "grubbing" (something that certainly isn't done at high speed IMHO)?

You did say:
I have had my say.
But welcome back again! You didn't answer this question last time you were here:
The asssumption that the pilots were negligent because they flew into a hill covered in cloud is akin to assuming a body floating face-down in a swimming pool has drowned. But then, you wouldn't make that mistake, would you?
Any comment now?

With freshly-reheated good wishes.
