I think I am right in saying that the Select Committee flew on a Chinook Mk2 sortie following the ASSUMED flight path of ZD576, during which it was shown that, as if by magic, the Chinook was capable of turning away from the threat well beyond ‘waypoint change’. As you have chosen this to be the crux of your findings could you please explain why both Day and Wratton claim that this was the point at which ZD576’s crew were grossly negligent?
I have read your posts and respect both the quality and quantity of your aeronautical experience however, I wonder how much rotary experience you have and what brings you to the same flawed assumption of “negligence at ‘waypoint change’” as the airships?
