Good spot, LFH, thank you. Lest anyone console themselves with the thought that these 100 deaths while regrettable are essentially historic, think again! The attack on UK Military Airworthiness commenced in the late 1980's. It has spread throughout the fleets like a canker because once you subvert the system, once you order the Regulations to be suborned, once you rid the system of the experience and expertise of those who will not comply, then the continuous process of safety auditing which is the very foundation of airworthiness is lost. The only way then to regain that lost airworthiness is to face up to what has happened, why it has happened, and to reform the system so that it cannot happen again.


What happened? Short term savings were made at the expense of safety. Who ordered that? RAF VSOs. Why did they do that? Because they could, and because they desperately needed the previously ring fenced Air Safety funds to counter Supply based financial losses caused by the ineptness of a certain RAF VSO. Why hasn't the system been reformed yet? Because it would reveal that ineptness and the illegal orders of RAF VSOs who are now protected by a continuous cover up since by succeeding RAF VSOs.


The RAF remains dishonoured and compromised until and unless these issues are faced up to and proper reform instituted. The gross lack of airworthiness in the UK Military Airfleets will go on claiming victims until that happens. And all for protecting the reputations of a handful of old men!


Self Regulation Doesn't Work and in Aviation It Kills!
