Blackfriar, if this were only about the tax payers' money wasted over the decades of Establishment cover up, the mantra would hold as good as for all the other financial scandals. This particular cover up though has cost lives (over a hundred to date), and will go on doing so as long as it prevents real reform of UK Military Air Regulation and Accident Investigation.
While Judges, QC's, Coroners, Senior Police Officers, Heads of Safety Agencies, Ministers, MPs, and even Manufacturers, are prepared to connive with the MOD in maintaining the cover up the urgent need for reform is obscured. Avoidable accidents will go on happening, and people will go on suffering needless death.
