K52,
There you go again. Your insinuation of the 18th seems to be that the two pilots were "no more than average" in an apparent attempt to cast some sort of slur. You are correct in stating that you are "on dangerous ground here", especially as you appear to be letting your own opinion get in the way of fact once more.
I can personally vouch that one of the two pilots was sharper than most, his assessments verify that. You should know better than to cast a slur on a fellow aviator, especially one who is no longer able to defend himself from it.
I think most of us would now agree that any one of a number of scenarios could be moulded to fit the available but incomplete evidence. Had the MOD stated that "The most likely scenario is.... (your own or my own opinion here), but due to the lack of compelling evidence the true cause of the accident cannot be determined" or similar, this campaign would never have been required.
