Er, no, it doesnt. There is nothing faintly sinister, unexplained , or covered up about the Nimrod crash, and hence it has no relevance to DVs ongoing campaign. It is rather self serving of Dv to use its anniversary as a catalyst to bang his drum. Again.
Ironically, I dont disagree with the general point he is making, but dredging up this particular accident and implying that there is something to be learned or uncovered by a FAI is in my view quite wrong and distasteful.
