Incidentally, this was my reply to DC:
Dear David,
Many thanks for your letter Ref: (...) concerning the Chinook accident of 2 Jun 94.
When the current Government is voted out of office, as surely it will be before long, may I take it that your Government will make it an early priority to take the "only honourable course" of which you write - and to reinstate the reputations of the two pilots accordingly?
Sincerely,
(BEagle)
To which his research assistant replied (within the hour):
Dear (BEagle),
Thank you for your recent e-mail about the above mentioned issue.
I will print it out for David to read.
Kind regards, (.......)
Shall keep you all informed......
