SW, it would appear that having aired the situation, a fix is on the way.

I never expected the HC3s to get signed off, but File on 4 gave me a tinkle a few weeks ago and I suggested they take a look at the procurement of the Chinooks. Smart move? If they were delivered to spec at a cost of £246m and they were not safe why has nobody taken responsibility for an outrageous waste of taxpayers money? Or do you think that is OK? I am still not clear as to why these ac cannot be signed off which is why I ask the question. Accountability is something dear to my heart. There is precious little accountability here is there?

Oh, C4 News covered it on Saturday as well. (it was only a suggestion). Sometimes you have to think like politicians!
