Thanks for the heads up, Brian. As you know my local tory boy 'ex SAS' MP 'invariably does not sign EDM's'. Only 4 so far this session, so I'll be checking what's hot on his agenda (last time it was the campaign to return the epilogue and national anthem to TV!), and ask him once again if he would be so kind as to support two of HM's loyal servants against an injustice he claims to disagree with. He was most indignant at being contacted 'by, I assume, one of your friends who goes by the name of "irritating sod"'

Just moved house, sadly still within his constituency!

Beags, agreed. I said in my opening gambit to the original thread that money just might be behind this travesty. When the MoD lost its immunity to claims, we were all told, as military pilots, that we could be held personally liable for any accidents. To the groans of disbelief came the reply 'of course, chaps, that would only be so in the case of your gross negligence, so nothing to worrry about eh?'

Next fatal crash, and guess the outcome.....................
