Thank you PPRune Central Control for making this thread a sticky. Your ever flexible interpretation for what constitutes proper content of a Military Aviation Forum shows an ability to discern woods and demonstrates the shortcomings of out tree obsessed leaders. Might I suggest that those minded to sign the British Legion Broken Covenant petition linger a while on the site. In particular I commend the posting by "Next of Kin" on the topic "Scrutiny of Service-related deaths" page at:

This is the testimony of one who has had the traumatic experience of losing a loved one compounded by the bureaucratic, legalistic and soulless process produced by the unholy alliance of the Law and the MOD. There is no excuse for such callous disdain. The fundamental position that the facts surrounding the death of a loved one are not the direct business of the NoK is disreputable and surely unacceptable, whether covenanted or no, OPSEC not withstanding.
