Perhaps some of the contributors to this thread (particularly those who believe personal abuse is a legitimate form of debate) should actually read the report. There is no mention of windshear but the aircraft crossed the threshold of a short runway 32 k too fast.
Any employee in whatever field has difficulty in criticising a boss - never mind a royal. However, in my previous employment, that would have been a compulsory go-around and any captain permitting another pilot to continue would expect to be hung out to dry.
We've all done things we shouldn't have but the important thing (in the days before quick access flight recorders) was to have got away with it!
