I am concerned about the free hand given to the MoD to act as self-censor. Thirdly, US Military are refusing to cooperate with the British Inquest system. There is a definite link to the US in this Inquest.
There is nothing new in this. I recall a multiple fatality crash back in 1987(?) where we were told, with no "wiggle room" given, that we were not to speculate about the cause of the accident, we were not to discuss a certain specific failure, (that was broadly believed to be the cause of the crash), and we were not to communicate with the families about the accident. The reason given - it would cause the manufacturer a few embarrassing moments.
