I don't believe half the comments on this thread. Firstly I've been on the "wrong side" of a BoI three times. Once after CAT 5'ing one of Betty's aeroplanes and twice due paperwork I had been involved with prior to losing aircraft. I have every faith with the actual BoI and it's individual members. Once they report fully of course certain Very Senior officers may poke noses in and B'Liars mob may alter the thrust of the report. However comments such as that from TSM quote- irrespective of any inaccuracies, deliberate or otherwise - unqoute are absolutely appalling and nonsense. If the programme contains deliberate or unintentional innaccuracies then the spin docs in the MoD and B.Liars entourage will be ale to rubbish the whole programme. If any unpalatable facts are found out and the finger of blame is pointed somewhere then any incorrect statements will mean the whole prog will be rubbished. Aren't we the ones on this site who are always demanding absolute perfection from the Beeb and the rest of the journos normally described as "Lying Journo Scum". After that tragic event last Sept. this site was full of comments from people demanding the Beeb get it's facts right first and as the previous poster said we were complaining about the usual rent a mob talking head avation "experts" being wheeled out at the Beeb prattling on about Chinooks and Hercs whilst it seemed all the Kipper fleet and many others had worked out it was a Nimrod from the crew complement and where it was working. If this programme presents "Facts" as spouted on this site e.g the MR2 is a converted Comet airliner - then it does not deserve to be shown. In the event of the BoI report either ducking the issue or being pressurised to say certain things then that is when a good Beeb journo could really do some good by pulling it to ribbons and asking why it was altered and who altered it.
