relax fella, TD has always been supportive of the people working at ISK.
There is no suggestion anywhere that anything the groundcrew/engineers have done is in anyway a contributory factor. The confusion arises because the SofS mentioned that there could be flaws in the maintenance procedures (not the professional way they have been carried out) as defined by higher authority, caused by any number of factors to be investigated during the next inquiry.
In this case the engineers did everything they were required to do, the argument goes that the books should have required them to do more.
Methinks the inquiry will have huge ramifications for the way the MoD approaches airworthiness in the future.
