What I find extraordinary, although maybe I shouldn't, is that the RAF has admitted that it committed an unlawful act - it broke the law.
But because an internal MOD (Army lead I believe) inquiry didn't point the finger at anyone specifically nobody will be held to account. A classic MOD "nothing to see here, move on" approach. How about you keep having inquiries until someone finally decides who was/were responsible.
if you break the law you break the law, it doesn't matter whether you INTENDED to or not (following incorrect advice for example). You are ultimately responsible for your own actions.
