Jan66, I reply very diffidently to your post, for mine was the one that preceded yours, and if that was indeed the 'final straw' then I apologise unreservedly. Let me firstly commiserate with you in your loss and your grief. I can only speak for myself, but hopefully reflect the feelings of others who have posted here both pro and con your call to wait for the BoI to be published. This dialogue is not the detached gossip of 'tech nerds' but of those serving and retired who have a professional concern for this particular accident, or for the wider but vital enforcement of military airworthiness regulations. With due respect, if we felt that the BoI was likely to 'make all our questions answered', then we might be persuaded to so wait. Precedence does not encourage such hope though I fear, and the urgent need to reform Military Airworthiness Provision has to be addressed to reduce the chances of such tragedies in future. It seems to me pertinent that the views of those, like myself, who castigate the lack of a robust and sound system of Military Airworthiness Regulation, go unchallenged. If such challenges had been made some 35 years ago, when I was in the RAF, I am sure that they would have been met with a resounding response. I hope that you can see that the driving concern of all who post here is the prevention of avoidable accidents, and the grief of yet more bereaved, such as yourself, who lose loved ones. That is our preoccupation and in that I suspect we are all united. Once again my sincere condolences in your loss.
With respect.
Chug
