Would we be refusing to give the HC2s an MAR on similar grounds if doing so did not entail grounding the entire fleet?
I'm not clear what might be exercising the minds of the IPT as regards the Mull incident. Surely this was exhaustively investigated by an RAF BOI, and then by two very senior RAF officers in the direct Chain of Command. Was it not their finding that the pilots had operated with Gross Negligence, and that this was the sole reason for the accident? Is it not the case that there was found no probable technical cause for this accident, and that the IPT, Group, Strike Command, MOD, Boeing and all other interested parties can therefore rest easy and sleep soundly knowing that blame has been laid fairly and squarely at the feet of the deceased guilty parties? Or is there now the most cynical double think going down here, whereby the innocent are deemed guilty and the guilty get off scot-free?
