Chuggers,
I am TOTALLY against helping the media like this because they do nothing constructive with the matter, rather than fill a space on the internet with it, before moving on to talking about Amy Winehouse or something else.
Those with the issue should get the sqn Commanding Officer behind the gunsheds and tell him that if he hasn't got the balls to resign over something as critical as this, then his face is going to get some percussion adjustment and pronto. Then, the sqn COs need to go to the AOC en masse and get him behind the gunshed. THEN let the facts come out. If they can mitigate why they've done nothing, then fine. If they can't, then they need to have the balls to do a John Selwyn Gummer and invite their families onboard for a week of AAR refuelling jollies at 30,000 feet.
This isn't rocket science. We are playing with people's lives here. If manslaughter or cuplable or corporate homocide can be proved, then fine. Lets get the bastards on trial. Des broone too. But there is a difference between the USS Caine and RAF Kinloss. I hope. We go down this route at our peril.
