I don't know if you fly in the Nimrod but if the present restrictions Re Tank 7 , SCP and AAR were lifted would you still be happy to fly in it not knowing the cause of the crash?
I am not an aviator but an AGE but I do fly in the jet to get on dets etc.
The cause of the crash has not been ascertained yet so until that point is reached then the SCP and 7tk question would never be an issue as it won't be reinstated until after the BOI findings..
As for AAR it has/is/will be used whenever necessary in theatre and as such I would not be allowed on board for such operations due to operational reasons.
I am however happy to fly in any Nimrod that has been signed as serviceable by any ground crew.
And that includes aircraft with ADF's wing tank leaks that are within the laid down limits of our maint AP's.
