Good post LFH. That the MOD lies, obfuscates, and misleads should come as no surprise to those who have read the numerous fatal air accident threads on this forum. That other agencies and services should render themselves complicit in the MOD's misdeeds raises questions that go far beyond the lack of airworthiness of Sean Cunningham's aircraft and ejection seat.
There is something rotten in the state. If it can pervert justice to the extent that David Hill's book indicates then anyone can be its next target. MBA may be content to take this hit. After all, they remain at Chalgrove selling their ejection seats. Does that make it right?
