So, 10 years after Sean Cunningham died, when it was obvious any safety case could not be valid, and it was later admitted one couldn't be found, we've progressed to it's a bag of nails. Does anyone in MoD see the link to the demise of the ATC gliders, managed by the same people?

Or the parallels with Nimrod MRA4, where it too didn't have a valid safety case; and when the task was eventually resurrected it was discovered that the warnings of 1995 were correct - it could never be valid?

How could the Hawk and Glider teams, or anyone remotely connected with them, have passed supposedly robust MAA audits since 2010?

Yet another fleet being scrapped, or perhaps given away to someone who knows how to do the job, yet no-one seems answerable. Am I alone in suspecting the money 'saved' is earmarked for other aircraft fleets which have similar problems and are deemed more important?
