True, we don't know the reason the IG decided not to conduct a review but, to put it bluntly, there's quite a few innocent civilians no longer with us as a result of the collision with the Mil helo! I suspect, before the instructions were issued, the IG would have been asked "nicely" and any financial/resourcing issues could have been resolved behind closed doors.
Maybe it is just a case of the politicians stamping their authority........ but to "name and shame" in such a clear way rather implies that there's a bit more to it.
Anyway, hopefully it allays
WR's fears and confirms that the Mil usually do take safety seriously. That was the main point I was trying to make.
