Nimrod Information

Also, there are facts and there are facts. The Nimrod suffers from fuel leaks FACT
A vast majority of those fuel leaks are nothing more than slight seeps FACT
The media are quick to headline the number of fuel leaks reported but give no mention of exactly what is classed as a leak and what percentage of all those reported were acceptable FACT
Much of what has been posted on here is pure rumour and speculation - and in response to your last post ("Rumours ? Everything I have said I have written documented proof of"), I did not say that what you had posted was rumourFACT
A post stating that a rib 7 fuel leak resulted in fuel pooling in the bomb bay is pure rumour and is bollox FACT
Other families saying that all the media coverage only brings back the pain when THEY are trying to grieve in their own way FACT
Several posters on here now SFA about the Nimrod, but spout off like experts FACT

As someone that flies in the Nimrod I applaud you for trying to raise important issues, such as the need for bomb bay and fuel tank fire suppressant systems - I may be very grateful one day.

As someone that had several friends on board I understand your pain. But I am also fully aware and understand the pain that all this is causing to the families of those others that were lost. All I asked was that speculations, facts and rumours are kept out of the media until you know the BOI results and whether or not their findings need to be challenged. Although the recent Sky News reports did contain facts they did not report ALL the facts and were, hence, very misleading.

The day that story aired I saw more people at Kinloss that were hacked off with the report than those in support of it - because they knew the rest of the facts. FACT
