Roghead,
your MP is spineless then. Ingram will, of course, advise against signing, so perhaps direct your MP to this site and the Campaign one so that they can see the depth of feeling and the obvious injustice of the verdict.
Care to name and shame?
Croqueteer,
The only command decision available to the crew would have been to refuse to fly the Mk2 (no Mk1 available). This would have resulted in their Court Martial. If you want to look at resisting pressures from above, perhaps go higher up the food chain to see who was too weak to postpone the introduction of the Mk2 until it was fully serviceable for its intended purpose.
That, however, is another story. The only issue that I am concerned with is the rule of absolutely no doubt. This rule was broken and two pilots have been found guilty of negligence when the evidence does not support the verdict.
Regards, as always.
Brian
