Unguided Rockets

Leon,

You are certainly right about being hit by 6 unguided rockets - have you any OA to support this as a possibility? If so and the probability is, say, 1 in 10 to minus 9 then the RAF has probably achieved its duty of care compared with the standards for civilian aircraft. However as others have pointed out the BoI does not agree with you. Assuming only one hits what OA do you have to say that ESF offers no protection? Where does your OA say an unguided rocket would most likely hit - fuselage, tail, wings? It would be very good to have some science to back up your comments.
