Freedom of Information in the UK

[767-300ER]

Hello everyone...

in Canada we have an Access to Information program that DND (MOD) is required to answer to...

I am wondering if there is such a thing for the MOD/RAF and how does one go about requesting information? I want to try and access from info from a couple of accidents.

Thnx

if Tony B-Liar's mob haven't already shredded it or stuffed it into the Asbestos cellers in the old War Office Building (Allegedly)

Not that they ever did mass shreddings of inconvenient files under the Tories :rolleyes:

Anyone found Conquer’s log yet?

Just a thought...

Will accident reports come under the FOI act?

The Tornado/Patriot incident of 2003 was the subject of a thread earlier this year, which provides a link to the report which was published by the MoD.

The report is incomplete, judging by the narrative, and the most interesting bit is not in the main body, but in para 19b, where C-in-C RAF Strike Command recommends that the “Tornado IFF installation is modified to ensure the cockpit warning is triggered in all failure modes”.

Now, I wonder if that means someone failed to integrate the Mode 4 warning? (Does anyone know what the IFF system was?). Did similar failures to integrate occur in other aircraft types? Or, God forbid, was this predictable, predicted, and ignored?

I'm sure they wouldn't be free with infromation like that!
