"Hopefully he will feed the answers to Typhoon pilots and we won't see them spoil UK airshows with any needless crashes."

I always thought the purpose of a BOI was neither to apportion blame, nor to punish individuals, but to determine the facts that may have a bearing on an incident/accident; and then to make recommendations to Command in order to help prevent recurrence. Asking the pilot what happened should glean most of the answers, and Command is fortunate that we are able to do that on this occasion. When the next guy/gal reaches the same link in the chain, but reacts slightly differently and ploughs in, the subsequent BOI may not have the luxury of a one-to-one interview.

So, in that context, I believe those who put 'BOI', 'Bollockings' and 'leave it', in the same sentence should think again.
