I make this contribution fully aware of the Air Marshal's wartime career, but in this instance I believe his actions were responsible for the loss of 4 lives
I'm confused - wasn't the approach being flown by the captain, S/Ldr Howard?

Or is the suggestion that it was pressure from his distinguished co-pilot that led Howard to continue an approach that he should have thrown away?
