Shy - just to clarify, that accident happened pre-NVG and the captain had elected to depart lights-out - not an unusual scenario given the tactical situation but he had gone in lights-on. The attempt to put some blame on the crewman, who was fatally injured, was the tacky part.
I flew the board of inquiry into the site the next day - not a pretty sight.
Jelly - worse still they might have tried to utilise a Cat A style of departure for which the site was unsuitable.
