Never
Understood. Quote deleted! I understand how it happens! When i crashed into the North Sea, the boss locked everyone in the squadron and only allowed phone access to him and sqn ops, to ensure they new the exact story, and whether i was ok, before disinformation got out... top bloke!!The internet means info travels fast these days, but in cases like this everyone should be the LAST to post, not the first. I once remember two Harriers crashing. One died, one survived, the Staish told the wives the wrong outcome about their husbands. Had to go back to both and say sorry 'yours is alive, yours is ....etc'. When these things happen, hold your breath and wait. I hope Ops are given a thorough and severe debrief.
