Slight thread drift, but from memory the guy who said the Convair crash was caused by scud running was not Peter Clarke, but was his "predecessor", a real piece of work he was. I believe he passed away due from something unpleasant so will not disparage the deceased.
Without defending the talking heads that the media love to run to who are generally unqualified to comment (which never stops them), I had Peter on the jump-seat one dark night many moons ago and he was actually a really nice guy, with some interesting stories to tell to pass the time.
As an aside to Boom, what was the cause of the Convair crash that "we all know what happened"? PM me if you like.
There is/was substantial disagreement with the official report. Out of respect to the crew and their families I won't reopen a topic which most have forgotten.
