Since this forum is a rumour network, let me throw this one into the melting pot, re: The Culdrose crash 18 months ago....
I have it on very good authority that had management been more maintenance focused, rather than operational flypro focused, then that crash needn't have happened. I was told that despite advice from certain quarters within the service not to fly that aircraft, it flew with a known crack and a reported irregular but heavy buzzing of the TR pedals.....
As I said, just a rumour from a former colleague.. probably just crewroom scandal merchants eh??
I mean, it couldn't possibly have any foundation??
No No, I'm being silly, that sort of thing never goes on in the service, as I'm sure several of you out there will no doubt point out in an over zealous and confrontational fashion...
