Walter:
On the other hand, the main areas of concern in airworthiness not only did not manifest themselves but the data preserved by the impact contradict any such control problems - yet you all dedicate yourselves to this cause which is surely secondary to the actual cause of the crash.
As usual you misrepresent those that you attack, Walter. tuc does not claim that Airworthiness was a cause as we do not know that, let alone that it was the "actual" cause of this crash. As he, I, and others have declared repeatedly, we do not claim that lack of airworthiness was the cause of anything, merely that it definitely existed in this as in many other fatal military accidents, and therefore could well have been a cause. You on the other hand claim that a planned approach to the Mull was definitely being carried out in totally unacceptable conditions of very low visibility resulting in an almost inevitable fatal tragedy. We have proved our case, you have not proved yours. You, Wratten and Day, all seem to think that throwing mud strengthens your case. It doesn't, it diminishes it, and in doing so diminishes yourselves. Think on....
