Pulse !. Yes, here we are again, but your posting seems to have been incomplete. Can you retransmit? John
Pulse 1. Somewhat puzzled at your suggestion that there are only two facts in all this. What about 1. Heading (the aircraft flew staight into terrain on its intended heading), 2. Track error (500 plus yards from intended track), 3. airspeed (around 145 kts), 4. aircraft under control (nose suddenly raised a few seconds before impact)and 4. IMC over the hills (lighthouse keeper). Why do we find it so difficult to accept aircrew error in this case, as we have had to do in so many others?
As Eisenhower said at the end of his pre-D-Day briefing, 'I don't like it, but thre we are' Regards John
