If you provide sufficient manpower and resources to provide a realistic chance of achieving the task then most of the problems of pressure, trust and aircraft limitions will go away. OK there will always be situations when problems can't be fixed before the next flight but this should be the exception rather that the norm.
The current situation at Lyneham appears to be one of chaos. Many people don't know who they work for or what they are expected to achieve. The reorganisation appears to have been poorly thought out and implemented, the important people (those involved at thhe workface) were not consulted and it has now become a face saving exercise. The RAF is not a democracy but common sense must prevail. Good leadership involves getting the troops on your side from the start
The present situation = Poor morale, unnecessary pressure, lack of direction = POTENTIAL FLIGHT SAFETY NIGHTMARE
