So why did the Air Marshalls find the pilots grossly negligent when the evidence was clearly not overwhelming?
Was it anything to do with the fact that the pilots were unhappy about flying the Mk2 Chinook with the test pilots at Boscombe Down refusing to fly it till the software problems were sorted out and yet senior officers ordered them to fly it with valuable passengers on board? Now that would be serious for certain senior officers and would explain the gross negligence finding.
