-What I have read is very odd.
A fully IFR pilot in a competent aircraft takes off in dubious weather, wanders around for over two hours (IIRC) and then ploughs into the cumulo-granite just a few miles from the airfield he started from. An airfield I have used frequently, and is right on the coast. So if a descent is needed it offers the entire Bay of Genoa as an obstruction free area.
Very hard one to call - so I won't even try.

-Some of the details of this case make me wonder if there is more to it than we have gathered to date. It certainly doesn't make a lot of sense.

-The Reading inquest doesn't give any satisfactory answers.
