Cazatou,
I was not interviewed or involved with the BOI. Please don’t think I would have had anything to add over and above those that were. I have nothing new to bring to this; other than to put across the atmosphere that was prevalent during the introduction of the Mk II.
There was no need to tell the Board about it, it impacted the whole force; although it was possibly worse in our isolation. I have thought about whether I should have asked to be interviewed by the Board for years and now realise that any feelings of guilt are fuelled by a hefty dose of hindsight. Nobody expected the reviewing officers’ comments. I believe we all expected the findings to be as they were; and for those findings to be endorsed by the reviewers.
You post well with balance and manners; I hope I have answered in kind
Regards
