Well say what you want TSM i can actually say I said them words a sober judge.
Ill say my last words then leave as I have had enough of trying to explain my thoughts to no avail, like many fellow engineers they have tried to give there bit but like most have said to me its like banging a brick head off a wall and I will do the same now and hang my typing fingers up in this thread.
Like a few posts before somebody said this thread is now laborious pointless and why we still go on about it, The BOI has happened and the answers for those concerned have been given, the MOD has apoligised , the families involved have been given a financial reward which in no way will bring back what they have lost but if we were given that chance to turn back the clock im sure the MOD would be the first to take that offer up.
What now, what else are people pushing for, that I cannot understand, since the accident the measures put in place now make the jet impossible to fly because of the maint checks that are required before flight, never in my career have i seen so many checks/inspections required, so in my view the MOD is doing its duty to ensure safety to its best. Many dont see that but as an engineer I like 100 others have the task of ensuring this every time an aircraft gets airborne.
I just wish to say after XV230 accident , many of us never had the option to speak about what happened, to this day people dealed with it in different ways but for many like myself coming on here and trying to find an answer is all that was available, the only way to discuss it and maybe try and find some reason why. Now i just see this as thread for us all to come on and think we know things more than others ,a way to try and think we know it all (im guilty of that and ive now realised I dont) , so much bickering and how one person knows more than others its getting boring and the same old, but I guess as a UK citizen we are known now for just moaning about life and how rubbish everything is , its what we do best.
I just want to wish all the want more info good luck on there quest, I for one am giving the magners a miss and moving on to strongbow.
God bless all
