Aircraft Accidents

Timelord's post no.39 interested me. It was not the first time a VSO has offered his interpretation of what constitutes an accident.

In the period Jun 1968 - Dec 1970 I was HQ22 Group Flight Safety Officer. The CAS, whose name escapes me, decreed that there was no such thing as an accident. Fortunately, our aircraft pool consisted of Chipmunks on 18 University Air Squadrons and some Vampire T11s and Meteor T7s on two Civilian Anti-Aircraft Co-operation Units (CAACUs). They caused little upset.
