Well said, dervish. The BoI was compromised from the start. Denied witnesses, eg the Odiham Test Pilot (who knew more about the 'idiosyncrasies' of the Mk2 than most, having suffered them all on repeated occasions), denied evidence, eg the 'switch on only status' of the aircraft, and most importantly the independence needed by any accident investigator to do its job. That still needs to happen. Mull was the key airworthiness related fatal air accident in the tragic series that preceded and followed it. It still awaits proper investigation and all the evidence ('new' or otherwise) properly considered. The scandal of RAF VSO interference in subverting Military Air Safety must finally be faced up to. Time to bite the bullet and enable reform. What is more important, the cover up or military airworthiness CAS?
