I have read Mick Smith's article, and I agree it can give the wrong impression, but I would not call it DELIBERATE or SCANDALOUS. Mick Smith has done some great work in trying to uncover the truth and keep the accident in the public eye, and at worst I would say that the section referred to in the previous postings was simply ambiguous.
What is Deliberate and Scandalous is the information put out this week to the families that all the recommendations made by the XV227 Inquiry Board have been carried. And it is also Scandalous that they haven't.
By the way I understand that the Station Commander who signed off on the XV227 report, and was still in charge when XV230 was lost, has left the service to fly with "Eastern". Is that Deliberate, or Scandalous?
