Dangermouse - you read into my post what you wanted to, I am not going to write 'allegedly' everytime I voice my opinion on something (and I think it would be libellous not slanderous).
If the BOI finds that it was not cracking of the TR hub that caused the accident then I will eat a double helping of humble pie. However, since a fleet-wide check of the TR hub was instigated straight after the crash, and the worldwide fleet remains grounded except for urgent ops and lifesaving, and the grapevine alleges that several other aircraft in the fleet have cracks in the same area as the crashed one - what is one supposed to think? Gremlins????
Would you like to detail the NDT procedures for composite materials, other than a visual inspection or by tapping the item (Lynx MR blade), so that I can be enlightened?
