Breakfast?
Grow up people, this case has continued because the man in the front crashed. He also took lots of "important" people to there graves.
Shackleton crash Isle of Harris 1990 - Did they eat breakfast? Doubt the BOI asked.
Lots of Jaguars / Harriers / Hunters / name your own aircraft have also come to grief low level and other than "Was he in the bar getting wasted" the night before the subject of food was not raised. Was he rested is another question.
I support what your doing Brian but lots of other people have died under similar circumstances, yes the software was wrong on that chopper, but lots of other people have died because of design faults. Original Jaguar NAVWASS? How many people did that kill.
A lot of those people would be turning in there grave at the fuss given to this crash, but i think its only happening because of the poor way the BOI dealt with it.
There can be little doubt the crew IMHO had "pressonitis" and got got caught out.
If the chopper was as broken as is claimed why take it? Were in the UK, noone gets shot for refusing to fly.
Reasonable doubt? Don't think so.
BOI report, the original one, written in simple phrases and lots of sorrow, and there would be no campaign.
Justice has no expiry date, but that crew screwed up - live with it.
