I am not a Helicopter pilot familiar with these routes but you are! Given low cloud even if localized and a certain amount of scud running which we have all done ( There for the Grace?) What do you think happened I stress think? as we still do not know whether there was some other problem that caused him to be where he was!
I too have examined the building and was horrified at how tall it was and how close to the river and Battersea it was giving minimal margin for error.
Especially if the pilot hit a patch of cloud and thought he was over water.

The dreaded Cumulus Granitus which we all know but in this case Towering Cumulus? But not Tower in the met sense?
