I agree that it was probably a series of decisions/circumstances that got him there Clare Prop (as in just about every accident) but I think it's unfortunate that GA training organisations spend so little time training for an instinctive & correct recovery for just this kind of scenario. With early recovery actions (right rudder, forward stick - no aileron - & full power) this may well have been recoverable in my opinion .. but yes, much better to not get in the situation at all. Humans will always make errors - best to minimise the consequences with appropriate training.
