No offence intended to anyone. Both books mention Air Chief Marshal Graydon's letter to Marshal of the RAF John Grandy. It was mentioned here a few times. A quick check tells me it was written in 1987. What the book doesn't say, perhaps can't, is who leaked the letter. It provides an Air Staff file reference, so it wasn't a private note.
As for the acronyms Herod, not a problem in the second book. I think this was acknowledged and corrected in the first. At least the Kindle version is because the author offers a free replacement whenever they are updated. You've got to e-mail the publisher, but they reply quickly.
We probably don't want another ZD576 thread. But reminders are good. As chug says, the case is still open.
