Oh come on now..
.. standby compass and magneto would still be working just fine, and Alderney would not have been that difficult to find in the prevailing weather conditions. As previously suggested, there's more to this than we so far know. Also the dear lady passenger is alleged to have previously said that her husband was unconscious.. now it is claimed that he pushed her out. Cant imagine that a gent of his financial resources would have skimped on fuel just to save a pew pounds. Very sad. TP
