This is a copy an e-mail I received on the 21st March this year
Hello
The Knight family have been liaising with a L*** M******** from the BBC in relation to a programme that they are making highlighting concerns over Nimrod safety and the implications of the XV230 loss. The programme is likely to be broadcast to coincide with the release of the RAF Board Of Inquiry which is expected to be released in the next few weeks
L*** is keen to hear from anyone with concerns about the Nimrod, safety issues, overstretch, PVR rates etc. He is also interested in what life is like working relentlessly in the Gulf and also any incidents which they are aware of, fuel leaks, fires, hydraulic leaks, concerns about air-to-air refueling.
Bearing in mind that production started well before the BOI report was complete, it's not even been released to the families yet, so it can't exactly hold true facts as to the cause and effect of the loss of XV230. If it were to be a factual account, surely it would be produced after the BOI has been published
Now I find it a bit of a coincidence that the MP is asking along the lines of the same information, would he perhaps also be appearing in this program?
