From Mick's article and this is for Ed Sett,

Group Captain Colin Hickman, who is in charge of the safety of the Nimrod fleet, admitted to the coroner that the remaining Nimrods were not Alarp and would not be so until the end of this year. Asked if this process could be speeded up, Hickman replied: “No, it is driven by resources.”

Once again this Fleet cannot be described as airworthy. If anyone get's info on life assurance validity please post it here and send a copy to Des Browne.

"Oh my goodness! A secretary of state has misled us. Shock horror. Seriously, is there anyone in this nation who would not prefer to believe the word of a coroner than that of a politician - especially a minister?"

Well aside from a fair few people here.....
