Hi Folks,
Spot feels a little down after today as we thought it might have been Endex. The Rollercoaster continues.
SUMMARY FOR 10th February 2003:
The Judge Advocate considered both the submission of ‘no case to answer’ put forward by the Defence and the response by the Prosecutor.
The submission by Mike Jones QC was very elegantly and expertly put and was a test of the legal points of negligence and causation. The JA decided that the CM should continue and the Board was called back in.
The Defence then called their first witness, this is a gentleman who was hill walking with a friend in the general area at the time. He was looking north and saw two twin finned aircraft which were tracking east to west before he saw them bank to the right towards Ben McDhui. They were above him (he was in a valley bottom) but were flying beneath cloud. He saw them for about five seconds. He initially identified them as F14s but afterwards realised that they were F15s.
The witness is now under cross examination.
More tomorrow.
