Inspection
As SS has eluded to in his last post, there will be a full inspection of the aircraft on its return to Dishforth. Whilst this will not be a forensic examination to prove any points, it will be thorough and complete. As you are no doubt aware many people and companies supported this expedition and they also have a right, as do our sponsorers, to know conclusivley what went wrong. If it was a product they supplied then perhaps some good enviromental resistance data can be gathered fron it post its exposure to whatever enviroment it experienced. As a relativley experienced engineer i will be able to assess the exact causes and levels of corrosion on all the equipment and airframe, having several years experience working in a very similar high humidity/heat enviroment in the far east and have seen first hand exactly what that does to equipment. The inspection will be totaly unbiased and will be available for external audit. As for the web site,well, can you blame them? watching a dream that has been worked on for years come to such a sad end-would you care about the web site?.
