Did he ever admit flying to Great Britian on purpose or did he still maintain he got lost on his way to Cali??

I had him up in the tower while the search was in progress. I kept the tower open past 11pm in order to allow him validation 1st hand. He, his brother & wife were there. I got the whole "wrong-way" story 1st hand! Great man.
