Good Day.
I wonder if I could pose question here, without wishing to enter the discussion on the main purpose of this thread (I have no useful input).
I have often wondered why all these security chaps were on this chopper. I recently discussed this issue with a retired CID officer over a bevy on holiday...and he was of the opinion that it had never been fully explained. I believe I've heard they were on their way to a conference at Fort George near Inverness, but if that is true surely it begs a number of questions...
Why go to this out of way place for a conference, thus creating the need for an unusual transport solution?
Why not take the ferry and have the conference on the West Coast of Scotland or fly to London and have the conference there?
I'm not seeking to unearth a conspiracy, just an inquisitive desire to answer one of the aspects of this tragedy that has always puzzled me.
Apologies if the intrusion is unwelcome.
