I can only say that in ten years of military flying and twenty-five years of civilian flying I cannot remember, even as a very green sergeant pilot, being pressured or asked to accept an aircraft that an aircraft engineer was not prepared to sign off as being serviceable or to accept a defect that was not in the Acceptable Deferred Defects list.

I suggested a civilian enquiry because the civilian standards of proof are clearly higher than those used by the BOI in this case. My only comment is that I was suggesting that a civilian enquiry should be carried out after the RAF verdict had been over-turned - I know not who would have the authority to do that - so that the findings of that enquiry could then become the official one, hence some sense of closure.
