i am so sorry that it has taken me sooo long to sign the petition. i have been a bit of a pleb recently thanks to baby hormones and so i thought i'd already done it!!!i have now and will get in contact with my contacts from MFAW (military families against war) to see that all that can be will be done. i'll contact rose gentle and co to round the troops as it were to get this going again. i will also get in contact with those who i have contact with who i know as a result of losing my brother in iraq in jan 05 on the herc. we are represented by the wiltshire coroner but like so many familes we are waiting, and waiting and waiting. we are all family within the military and at times like this we should pull together, god knows we are all in the same boat.it is a travesty of course that the MoD and government are unable to thinkthat way too and it would seem in their eyes that when our loved ones ceased to exist then so did we. not so my friend!!! i for one have been more than vocal and become known to the government and senior officials and initiated my own e petition to protect the hercules aircraft with a much needed safety system. if you need any contacts i will try and help. i'll also email everyone i can and will promise to do my best to help. shame the same can't be said of the government ministers.

most importantly......keep the faith. you are not alone!
