So apart from the Flip Seal show...
The only show that I can see from here, Equivocator, is the show of moral cowardice from those who know but pretend not to. This struggle to get the Hercules Fleet the protection it was denied for 40 years and to properly investigate the airworthiness shortcomings that culminated in the tragic loss of XV179 and her crew is approaching its zenith. When the dust settles it will be the old values that will have counted. Courage, tenacity, faith and the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong. Those who would sneer at such values are the ones who are wanting in my view. It is surely as plain as a pikestaff that those values so prevalent in our fighting men and women are conspicuous by their absence in what are euphemistically called the corridors of power. Those corridors, and those who inhabit them, will be seen as unworthy of that power when this case, the Nimrod one and the cruel farrago of the Mull Chinook are finally laid to rest. Nothing short of a complete reform of the MOD is required, and important functions such as Military Airworthiness Authority rested from its deceitful maw. That is the show in town. Watch this space!
