Tappers Dad

I have spoken via email to Tappers dad on two occasions, and believe him to be an honourable man.
There are many post's before this one, and many Ppruner's clearly find the whole Nimrod safety issue a very serious matter. I have never been to ISK, and can only go on the rumours and comments mentioned on this site. But, if we all took a step back for one minute, then surely none of us would wish to be in Tappers dad's position. While some might think we know how we would act or behave in his position, none of us ACTUALLY know, and cannot know, until we were stood in his shoes.
Here is a man who is grieving for his son, but also trying to be of help to others, so that no other parents have to go through what the Tapper family have had to endure.
So please, lets support Tappers dad and his local MP.

Personally I don't care what the motives of the MP are, but I think I fully understand the need of a parent to come to terms with this event.
If some of you don't want to help, then that is your choice, but please don't bicker, as this all to easily leads to things being ignored. Or classed as service squabbling, and a divided lobby, is a powerless lobby.
