Tasker, Doleman and Turner - no wonder the Landlady is getting mithered. I don't suppose a few drams would have anything to do with it!
Must be a great comfort to Spot to have the 3 Musgetbeers up there!
Keep up the good work Tommy T - excellent reporting. Be interesting to see who the "big batter" you mentioned turns out to be? Seems the case revolves on 2 main issues: the pilot's responsibilities and actions, and the reason for Spot's behaviour at the time. So far things sound like they're lining up well given the acknowledgement that its the crew's responsibility for terrain clearance, and they may well have been VMC below. Also, is it at all reasonable that Spot was working that day - especially as it seems no-one was monitoring his actions - Supervision???
All our best Spot, there but for the grace of God could be anyone of us.
