Carol, I hope that you can see here some of the determination to expose the corrupt morass that now envelops UK Military Flight Safety. In this one thread alone we have those, like yourself that have witnessed the devastating effects that fatal aircraft accidents leave behind them. We have those, like tucumseh, that have been directly persecuted for simply trying to do their job, which was to carry out the mandated airworthiness regulations to ensure that UK Military Aircraft can carry out their most basic function, to stay in the sky! We have many others who have come to realise that those set in command above them far from leading have reneged on their duty of care over those that they command, have issued illegal orders to subvert the Airworthiness Regulations, and have directly suborned them themselves by issuing Release to Service to knowingly unairworthy aircraft.
As tuc says, no-one in authority wishes to heed the evidence laid before them. Because that is the case no reform can take place. Because that is the case avoidable aircraft accidents will go on happening. Because that is the case Servicemen and women will die needlessly. That is a stupid and senseless situation. Every Air Marshal acquainted with this stupidity who does not seek to end it becomes part of the problem, part of the cover-up. Somewhere there is the man or woman who will finally seek to end it. High time they stepped forward!
Self Regulation Doesn't Work, and in Aviation it Kills!
Set the MAA and MAAIB free of the MOD and of each other.
