If you look at the thread more carefully I would gather the comments were meant to relate to the worst loss of so many important and irreplaceable military intelligence personnel in UK history. I would most definitely call that a disaster on its own.
Lets not turn this into a numbers war but look at it from a positive perspective, that at long last, there seems to be a positive effect off all the campaigning to clear the pilots names.
And about time too!
