With regard to the speed of the aircraft, one of the yachtsmen stated that when he observed the Chinook the speed of it was slow enough to make him think that it might be involved in a search and rescue in the area. He stated that he saw the aircraft quite clearly. This witness has been since quoted as being angry that his evidence was not given proper attention.
However, the point is that what evidence there was has been taken and duly considered by the best legal minds. The outcome was that there was deemed to be insufficient evidence to hold the crew grossly negligent.
This was done with concern to the law of the land and not with regard to opinion. Full stop. The campaign will and must continue to ensure that MOD cannot be seen to be able to disregard the law. That would set an extremely dangerous precedent.
