Just found the programme description (just noticed this is mostly in the original post too).
"Shelley Jofre investigates whether Britain's single biggest loss of military life in over two decades could have been avoided, and reveals a series of potentially-catastrophic faults with the RAF's ageing fleet of spyplanes."
So Shelley is, in fact, doing a kind of BoI into the loss, prejudging the official BoI.
I detect some here feel that this is a good thing, perhaps envisaging probing journos finding the truth etc., just like in films ("All the presidents men" spings to mind).
I can only judge by recent BBC journolistic standards, but I fear that the programme will be sensationalist, poorly researched, make tenuous and misleading associations and deductions and generally do many in the RAF a rather large disservice.
Of course, I'm prejudging the programme here having never seen it - that would be stupid thing to do wouldn't it!!!!!
