John Finney made a statement and answered several questions. Much of it was what you would expect. He firmly states during the statement and the answers to questions that the investigation is ongoing and we must wait until it takes its course.
However, he states that the HSSG change in recommendations about SP flying was based on new information from the AAIB. I am not sure that this is correct.
He also states that the incident Gold and Silver command centre was the Aberdeen Division police command centre. This leaves me wondering what the police were doing getting involved in an aeronautical SAR job below the High Water Mark when they have no appropriate skill set and are not the Statutory Co-ordinating Authority. Surely their place in this is subsequent investigation of an accident or sudden death as required by the Procurator Fiscal.
