DV and Dervish,
Quite! There are few unexplained aspects to this but I think it best to let things lie for now - until some more suitable time in the future.
Well done to all who have kept the faith and expecially to Brian who often was left to hold the fort in the dark days between Inquiries. Many other people, however, have contributed to the cause of justice - even if it was 16 years in coming. Well done Dr Fox and Lord Philip!
Whether we believe the pilots got wrong or not (I happen not to think that) and whether we believe the cause of the crash was distractions, illusions, nav errors, UFCMs, control jam, AFCS, FADEC, airworthiness or men in dark jump-suits, it is now time to un-pin this thread and let it fall slowly to the bottom of heap. It has achieved its aim and is probably the best example of the power of the blog and internet that I know of.
Rest in Peace the crew and passengers of ZD576.
