Chaps, I'm a civvy now but was on the Kipper fleet from 90 to 94 ish. I knew some of the guys who were lost and have the utmost sympathy for their loved ones who bare the burden of their loss.
But when did it become acceptable to discuss technical and procedural topics in an open forum? I don't buy the "its already in the public domain" argument. Many of you are bound by the Official Secrets Act, just as I still am.
As for the panorama program it added nothing to the debate and was factually incorrect on many counts.
Whilst I fully understand the desire to get to the bottom of this. There are people doing just that and I think we would all do well to wait to hear what they have to say.
I hope this doesn't offend anyone as that was not the purpose but I had to pipe in when i saw procedures being discussed.
