I'll say before I ask the question, that I'm pretty sure about the answer to this...but it will raise a good debate I'm sure. I'll also pose the same question on the mil forum as well.
When a contractor's aircrew fly a UK military aircraft, what form of indemnity is in place to ensure that somebody picks up the bill if:
a. He damages the aircraft?
b. Totally writes it off (this has happened)?
c. Ploughs it into the deck causing major loss of life and limb?
