Very hard to believe that a Barrister would write such rubbish. He is either slightly unhinged or is being spun by a drinking buddy who could be full of hate without knowledge.
I sincerely hope for his sake that he doesn't come up against these words of his in a case somewhere against someone who actually knows a bit about aviation or he might find himself in a sticky situation.
I shall keep them for sure.
The gentleman has quite an illustrious career in films and literature and according to his web site is touted as a caring individual.
How the crass carelessness of his words from the article fit with caring, is beyond me.
People from stateside who are related to the last unfortunate accident and reading them will understandably be quite upset.
