Thank you. I read the BoI report. It clearly states the strobe light installation was not "fit for purpose" and specifically cited Def Stan 00-970 (Design and Airworthiness Requirements), chapter and verse. (The bit about interfering with crews' vision). Which is more than the Nimrod report did. I haven't heard anyone say the members were wrong. I'm not aircrew so can't comment on what the practical effect would be of switching off the lights in darkness, without NVG; which is what was concerning the BoI. My point was that it was one of a series of BoI reports which criticised the implementation of the regs - Nimrod was by no means the first.
