On that fateful evening, I was the Captain of a Dornier 328 that took off immediately in front of the Loganair SD360 in question when we were flying from EDI to LCY. Both myself and my FO found it very harrowing to listen to the first mayday call and the subsequent ditching call going out from the SD360. Incidentally there was total calm and not a hint of panic from the crew or from the EDI controller who tried to give them vectors back to the field - a great credit to the professionalism of all concerned.
I have no doubt there are some harsh and possibly embarrassing lessons to be learnt from the company point of view, but I hope everyone can swallow their pride in the interests of flight safety and give a full and accurate assessment of the causes. The greatest gift we can give to the families of those who lost their lives is to ensure this never happens again.
