Damned shame for the young couple just starting out in life.
As a pilot who regularly flies in this area and whose favorite journey is taking the boat on many occasions from Connell bridge up to the logging camp at the very end of loch Etive I can assure you it is very hostile terrain to attempt a forced landing regardless of weather. The glen walls on the part of the loch that doglegs north are pretty much sheer from about 800ft down to and below the surface, my depth gauge was showing at least a hundred feet close to shore and could not measure the bottom in the middle.
Does anyone have the weather for the day in question?
