Can this country do nothing right? All that an air accident report (civil or military) is required to do is state the result of a fully comprehensive unbiased and objective investigation into an aircraft accident. Plainly this one didn't. That error is then compounded by it being treated as holy writ and protected from challenge in court but then used by the coroner, despite her being denied consideration of evidence of it being flawed. These proceedings were about as just as the scandal of the Mull's kangaroo court.

So, the canker that has blighted military air safety for so long is now infecting its civil counterpart it would seem. The primary purpose of air accident investigation is to prevent recurrence. Not only has this one failed spectacularly in that, it has almost guaranteed recurrence by protecting the civil regulator from the result of its own negligence. The negligence will continue unhindered unless it is exposed. All that is missing is the continuous cover up protecting its military counterpart's gross negligence. Then the curse will be complete.
