I take that on board and am not disputing his experience, my comments were more as a general comment about the issue of a PPL.
And again as an objective comment, experience is only relevant to the conditions and environment in which it is gained. I am sure there are very experienced VMC pilots out there. Perception of experience can be a dangerous thing. Again, I am commenting in general terms, not to the facts in this case. I do not know who was flying or experience they had in these circumstances.
