Thanks, Fortissomo.
The OH used to be the 'subject expert' on BSA [as was] many years ago. It was a complex subject, and of course the Regs may have changed since she hung up her quill.
I could imagine, for the defence, that a VSO got his PSO to originate the paperworks, signed it off and forgot about it ... without VSO or Mrs VSO being fully cognisant of the complex Regs. A lot of detail would be needed by we 'outsiders' to determine what went on, but clearly the CM were convinced of culpable conduct.
I share the sadness for all those impacted.
