Yes, a pretty damning summary of MoD policy and practice this past 16 years or so. I hope the multi-Stars who were specifically warned of the consequences are asked why they chose to ignore the warnings.


Nobody in the RAF or the MoD could find a copy of the airworthiness requirements for the version of the aircraft that caught fire
I'd say what they couldn't find was a documented audit trail that demonstrated that the mandated airworthiness requirements / regs were actually implemented properly. Not surprising, given the sheer weight of evidence that they weren't. The requirements themselves are there for all to see and any agreed deviation from them should be documented. (Notwithstanding the above multi-Stars' rulings that they are optional and can be ignored).
