Exascot cannot comment.
The Aircraft Captain cannot comment.
The Navigator cannot comment.
I cannot comment because I was not on the aircraft.
What I can say is that I had known (and served with) the Aircraft Captain on different Units for over 25 years and I have also served with Exascot. I flew the same type of aircraft as the one in this accident during my 16 years as an Aircraft Captain flying VIP's in the RAF. I was lucky - I only had to cope with 3 to 5 Star Air Officers who wanted to fly the new aeroplane.
