Interesting Telegraph wording indeed..
Please don't flame me here..I'm not normally of the conspiracy fraternity..
However...
1 It's pretty unusual, but not of course not unique, for a single to cross to Le Touquet with just one POB...
2 It's pretty rare, but of course not unique, for a single to be lost on an England to France channel crossing...
3 This incident occurred at almost exactly mid-channel..as far as possible vfrom available S&R facilities..
No disrespect but I felt immediately uneasy and even a tad suspicious when details of this accident first began to emerge.
We'll see..
