I just think its unfair to judge an aircraft through stats. everyone is quick to find the bad points and use it as some leverage to try and persuade the government they are not fit to fly. Maybe im picking it up wrong.
The Nimrod has one of the best safety records of all aircraft , until recent events.
The BOI is with us soon and they will tell us what happened that day. Maybe once this report is out all that operate the Nimrod can carry on doing what we do with the knowledge we aint going to be splashed across the front page of every newspaper in the land.
If they find something wrong I can assure you they will do every single thing required to make these aircraft fit to use, that im 100% certain of and have solid faith in the Military to provide this.
