Jimmy McRrae's assertion that Colin's rally driving record and expertise should provide some evidence to support the position that he was not in error is understandable from a grieving father, but, utterly flawed.
On the contrary - what it displays is that Colin was a person who was supremely confident in his own abilities and prepared (compelled?) to push hard in order to achieve goals. On how many occasions in racing did this lead to him, and of course all other top level drivers, having accidents? That's a perfectly acceptable part of rallying and one which is well mitigated.
Aviation, however, is not so forgiving as, i fear, he found out to his cost.
