I hope that Pete Barnes is not made into a scapegoat? The weather closed in around him making it very hard to maintain visual references.
Peter Barnes was a highly experienced Helicopter pilot involved in some of the James Bond Helicopter sequences.

A couple of months ago concerns were made over the lihting on the Crane structure amd night only as shown by this tragic accident is NOT good enough for such slender invisible structures in very poor visibility conditions.
I hope the authorities learn from this and have these very high cranes properly lit at all times!
