If it were you who was blown to bits, how would you feel about knowing your family and loved ones are having all the details spread through the media
If I had been on the aircraft I would not like my family to see the media coverage. However, I would be far more upset if there was another crash that could have been prevented.
The media are not providing a service to anyone involved with the crash, they have their own goals and objectives, but raising the profile of the accident makes it much more difficult for the MOD to ignore the fact that the Nimrod MR2 needs fire protection in the bomb bay.
Kinloss has suffered enough, the families have suffered enough, and hopefully the BoI will provide suitable recommendations that will be adopted by the RAF to prevent other families feeling your pain. Unfortunately, history has shown the system to be left wanting in the past.
