When you quote Mr Holbrook's evidence in respect of the weather it would be useful if you quoted which particular evidence you are referring to. Mr Holbrook in his written signed statement to the BOI sworn on oath stated that he was "2 NM Southwest of the Mull" and the visibility was "1 NM limited by haze"
He gave significantly different weather evidence to the Fatal Accident Inquiry when he said "I recall the conditions of visibility at sea level as being fine, perhaps as much as five miles. I think at that point I could even see the Antrim coast so it might have been as much as six or seven miles". There were further variations in the evidence he gave to the HOL Committee.
On the other hand there were 10 eyewitnesses on the Mull of Kintyre who reported the weather to generally foggy and very bad. Nine of these eyewitnesses (2 of whom were qualified Meteorological Observers) gave sworn evidence to the BOI in respect of the weather conditions at the time of the crash.
