MoD barrister says in effect - 'Nothing to see here, move on please'. Of course he would.
Are the pilot and the deceased's family legally represented ? Are they having to pay for their legal representation, including a three or four day actual court hearing that might become adversarial - and expensive. Or are they trusting in the honest officers of the MoD and the Coroners Service to arrive at the correct conclusions.
Given that the article was posted on the day of the pre-inquest hearing, some glitches are perhaps understandable. Notwithstanding - One thing seems clear from the quotes in the article -
The family of Corporal Bayliss seems to be under a fundamental misunderstanding (and therefore legal disadvantage) about the seating and ejection arrangements for the Red Arrows aircraft. There is no reason to suggest the quotes were invented, so why ?
This subject must have been discussed in agonising detail with many agencies, in the three years since the crash. How is it that the family can apparently still be unaware of the simple facts of the Red Arrows Hawk Mk 1 unique seating requirements and inappropriate command ejection arrangements ?
