The report does make a mockery of the investigating system. I was under the impression that the AAIB reports were there so that we could learn from others misadventures. Not much to learn from this, but then again I dont suppose there are many of us who want to fly a R44 to Antarctica. Mind you it shows how important fuel reserves and weather diversion planning is.
I'm sure the pilot with initials QS is a highly professional and capable pilot. Lets face it Heliair has been extremely successful under his leadership. It doesnt say which pilot actually contributed to the report, but it seems it was written by a professional journalist rather than a pilot.
It is a shame that we will never hear the whole story. It would be interesting to hear what really happened.
