I've got the letter Graydon & Johns sent to the Lords - I don't want to publish the full text but the most important part is contained in the Gruniad piece:
"for those unfamiliar with aviation matters...it is not easy to understand the many complexities..."
"The Select Committee has spent much of its time in its hearings examining possible technical failings....when it can be shown that clearly that the Chinook was seviceable, these technical hypotheses, as our letter makes clear, are irrrelevant."
Now that't what I call arrogance!!!!!
So, Herr (or Herren?) Wratten, the fact that almost every person who has heard BOTH sides of the argument accepts that there is doubt simply means that we are stupid?
Just to reiterate Mr Wratten, you don't have one single jot of evidence to support your case that the Chinook was serviceable. Not a jot.
You are going to fail, you deserve to fail and I know of not one person in the RAF who will shed a single tear at your downfall.
