Or, maybe the ODH just ensuring that they will have company in the Dock, should there ever be a Court Case involving the topic! Doesn't prevent a crunch should one occur tho! "Tolerable" and "ALARP" are v. subjective - without the safety analysis behind them to give them substance. To get a "Catastrophic" down from "no way!" to something "tolerable" you have to push the probabilities out a loooong way. And yet, just 2 weeks after the 2018 SS was issued, bingo - an Airprox involving a Typhoon. The irony being, that time, it was RAF on RAF - tho it was traffic out of Humberside! Maybe a gentle nudge by the Fates ahead of something else? I hope not.........
