The Investigating BOI stated that the forecast weather weather was "suitable for the flight but would have required flight in accordance with IFR in the vicinity of the Mull of Kintyre".
The corollary, of course, would be that the forecast weather "would have precluded fight in accordance with VFR in the vicinity of the Mull of Kintyre".
Yet flight in accordance with VFR at low level was EXACTLY what the Pilots planned to do.
