The difference between inspectors' views and reports, and the redacted political versions, is systemic and has been for many years.
As a UK TACEVAL Met. evaluator in 2 ATAF and 4ATAF I was told very firmly by the team leader "you cannot write that!" Thus cannabis on the window sill of a Met Office was allowed to grow to crop, and incompetence and indifference to continue unremarked.
In another life, my damning annual inspection report of a civil airport Met. facilities was greeted with horror.
The honest strivings of experts at about PSO/Gp Capt level are routinely subverted. Those who protest do not climb the greasy pole.
Fact of life, and not only UK.
