Ben K - Sorry for the late response.
The lady in question asked me to keep her type written words confidential.
And... More importantly - I've just rifled through my files and, at the present moment, can't find it
Given more time, I can perhaps recover it.
The report issued however, did reflect the saga of mistakes, and the rather disappointing decision making process.
Before they even reached their point of no return, their options had reduced dramatically.
Their departure airfield had closed in below minimums
Their alternative was below minimums
Their destination airfield was very suspect.
The wind strength wouldn't allow them to reach their destination.
No Emergency transmission was given until the engine quit - so no one was prewarned..
The pilot lost her aeroplane.
The insurance wouldn't pay out
The passenger sued the pilot.
The pilot basically lost everything.
A very salutary tale.
