Can anyone out there post the text of the Graydon/Johns letter? From the excerpts in the Grauniad article it looks like another example of "unwarrantable arrogance" by their Airships.

So only an aviator can understand the complexities of this accident? Hmmm, excuse me Messrs Graydon and Johns, but that is exactly what the President of the BOI was - and an experienced Chinook operator to boot. He didn't arrive at a verdict of "gross neglience" did he? Ah, of course, how stupid of me; you need to be both an aviator and an arrogant airship to be able to dismiss technical hypotheses (by such august bodies as the AAIB et al) as irrelevant.

Just exactly who do these people think they are? Do they think that by drawing Wratten into their cosy circle of establishment cronyism they can protect him from the results of the HoL Inquiry? I hope their little ploy fails.
Unwarrantable arrogance - too bl**dy right - I'm really mad about this.

Rant over!
