The Channel 4 news report centred on the forthcoming book written by Air Commodore Bleckley, a retired RAF engineer. This book reports on all the maintenance problems which had been experienced with this particular helicopter before the final flight. This is all factual and apparently included two front engine changes within a few days.
I have followed this campaign pretty closely and I had never heard of this. Could this be the new evidence which the MoD has required before changing thier minds? If it is, it makes them look even sicker than I thought they were. Why was this evidence not brought up at any of the enquiries?
