High Spirits, I understand your anger. I don't like having to write posts as above. I may not have any connection with the modern day RAF other than to want to see it flourish and succeed in every way. I'm certain that those who work in Air Safety these days take Airworthiness seriously and don't go to work to suborn it (that was done long ago).

The fact remains though that a safety system design that has remained in service since before I joined the RAF let alone left it had been compromised to the extent that it took life instead of preserving it. Why? Because the RAF's corporate memory had forgotten how to do up a nut! That same loss of memory accounts for so many of the other tragedies that are subject threads in this forum. That memory loss is because of the actions of certain VSOs, which were to UK Military Airworthiness what Pol Pot was to the people of Cambodia. Both shared a Year Zero. Neither turned out well!
