Great news Graham. As you are well aware, the families involved in the XV179 tragedy were given a full presentation by the BoI team at Lyneham, I also believe the AAIB specialist was present, along with a Govt Minister. They were briefed first, as a matter of priority. Sqn personnel were also keen to learn the findings. I assume Kinloss personnel will receive a full briefing by the President on the 5th as well. This is also, very important.
I fail to understand why the press are being given the red carpet treatment in London the day before. I would be grateful if the person who posted from Defence HQ would explain when this kind of briefing has been held in London in the recent past, in similar circumstances.
If the families asked for the briefing to be held in London, then, different matter.
Edited to add, TD, would you mind telling us when you learned of this briefing on the 5th? I understand from my own contacts in the media that they were briefed by the MoD on or around the 20 Nov about the presentation in London on the 4th.
