Chinook
John Blakeley.
Many thanks for your lengthy and very detailed comment. The accusation of a 'cover-up' is not of course mine, but if you go back through the numerous posts on this thread, you will see the suggestion that their airships might have had something to hide, post the accident. It is nonsense.
As to MOD's attitude to various accusations of incompetence or worse in the past, very interesting, but it does not advance our understanding of the causes of this disaster.
I emphasised the golden rule of 'keep flying the aircraft' merely to discount the often mentioned theory in this thread that both (or all three) crew members might have been distracted by something odd in the cockpit. Not if they were the highly competent folk we understand they were. Regards. JP
