Thanks
The BOI report is an interesting read and was thoroughly done, well done chaps. I can't fault the recommendations and hope the issues have been addressed already.
At first sight, there is little in this BOI to help or hinder the ESF 'cause' - as the holes in the 206's wing were very big and ESF couldn't have stopped the fire - it is not meant to anyway.
Nonetheless, it does not take the brains of an archbishop to work out that smaller explosive fragments, entering the wing of an ac containing enough vapour but without ESF, could easily have had a different result.
I pray no-one thinks that, just because the demise XV206 was not prevented by ESF, the fitting of fuel-explosion prevention measures are is optional.
Or am I teaching granny?
