I see that Wokeston’s henchmen, as detailed in the NSI that appear to have given the illegal orders to Gp Capt Nicholl, feature in the latest Air Rank Appointment List. One is ‘retiring from the Service’, but the other, whilst they have not been promoted, have got another role. https://www.raf.mod.uk/our-organisat...-appointments/

It seems that Air Ranks can be found to knowingly give illegal orders, and oversee that they are carried out, but still keep their jobs. Does this set a precedent for Courts Martial to be overturned for lesser mortals that have also apparently broken the law? Yeah, I thought not.
