The one and only absolute FACT here, is that an aircraft caught fire, was destroyed, and many of our friends died (unnecessarily IMHO)

I could mention some other absolute, 100% verifiable facts.
  • In Nov 2007 ACM Sir Clive Loader stated in the BoI report that Airworthiness regulations were not implemented properly. This repeated similar, and in one case even more damning, statements in previous BoI reports; in addition to HCDC hearings, PAC Audit reports and internal MoD Audit reports.
  • In Dec 2007 Des Browne accepted this and acknowledged liability.
  • In 1991, 1992, 1993…………………….. MoD(PE), DPA, DLO, AML and AMSO 2 Stars and above were told this. None denied it; all ignored it.
  • In September 2005 Adam Ingram, when Min(AF) was told it, in writing. And denied it, in writing.
Perhaps if ANY of these people had listened………..
