Thanks Racedo, and I agree about the wriggle room effect. Nonetheless, the RAF High Command is in contravention of the Covenant, or its Duty of Care as I prefer to call it, by continuing the cover up of illegal orders and actions by some of its predecessors and that led to the deaths of approx. 100 people in airworthiness related fatal military air accidents.
The cover up continues the lie in the Nimrod Report of Haddon-Cave's so called 'Golden Period' of Air Safety, and which supposedly constitutes the foundation stone of the MAA. Until that lie is faced up to, and admitted, then the urgent need to make Regulation and Accident Investigation independent of the MOD and of each other is not clearly apparent and most probably will not happen. The RAF will continue to be infected with unairworthiness, leading to more avoidable accidents and a reduction in the Air Power that it can wield.
