An itch to know more
We all have that itch.
Don't be defeatist. The public record can be improved, if all documents are released.
Why did 30 staff sit in the West Country holding the line about pilot error if the evidence was so overwhelming. A junior typist could hold the line if the case had nothing to hide.
Bob Burke was indeed the unit test pilot and I think it fair to say he understood the exploratory nature of Boscombe Down. After all, he flew the Mark Two being tested in Wiltshire back to Odiham in Hants after the crash because the test pilots at BD refused. He also knew both Jon and Rick. Oh, and Rick increased his life insurance in the weeks before the crash because he didnt like what he was seeing with the Mark Two.
Of course the programme would have needed a third episode to highlight the MoD successfully sued the engine manufacturers yet this evidence was not presented to the BoI. Or the SoS.
And just to complete the circle, quick question. When was the Mark Three introduced and how many flew?
