MOD haven’t got the time nor the inclination to read about someone’s ongoing hobby horse ad nauseum.
The MOD hasn't the inclination to provide for the duty of care that the Military Covenant, not to mention the law, calls for. Military Air Safety in the UK is in the parlous state that it is because of the MOD's disinclination to do anything about reforming Military Air Regulation and Air Accident Investigation. Both are held in check by the MOD and have been since the late 80s. Thank goodness that this thread wasn't about yet another avoidable fatal military air accident. It certainly had the makings of it and like all the others; Sea Kings, Mull, Nimrod, Hercules, Tornado, etc, predictable and predicted.
If this nation needs Air Power then it must pay for it or do without. The peacetime cost of not doing so will pale into insignificance when set against an enemy fielding Air Power itself. It will be the Battle of France once more, without the benefit of five further years to make up for not being fit for purpose or airworthy. Air Regulation and Air Accident Investigation must be reformed and made independent of each other and of the MOD (the MOD itself must be reformed but who will ever manage that?).
