BOI Timings
Sorry, I fully admit I haven't read every comment since page 92, so this might already have been mentioned, but.........
Has nobody else noticed the contents of Annex A to the BOI report - Diary of Action.
According to this diary the final report was presented to the AOC on Fri 20 April, but it was only released on 3 December. So it took the BOI 7.5 months to complete its analysis, and it then took another 7.5 months for the report to go through the Stn Cdr, AOC, AMM and CinC. Is it just me, or does this seem excessive. Nearly 2 months per senior officer?
Given the high profile nature of the report, the speculation taking place before its publication, and the desire of the families involved to achieve closure, I would have thought there would have been a degree of urgency involved, indeed as there should be in any BOI. Or am I being totally naive about what is actually involved in the process?
