A comment on the BBC ref the Nimrod report.....

President of the BOI, Group Captain Nick Sharpe, said there was no information to "positively identify" the cause of the crash, but enough to "probably" determine what happened.

Hmmm, this sounds familiar doesn't it - what we know now or what the senior officers thought they knew back then does not warrant a verdict of Gross Negligence.

Another quote from the BBC....

Mr Browne said: "On behalf of the MoD and the Royal Air Force, I would like to apologise to the House of Commons, and most of all to those who lost their lives, and to their families.

"I am sorry."

Whilst you are in the mood for apologising Mr Browne let's have another one please - put aside this unjust decision and let the families in this incident move on.
