Don't bother asking Sir Glenn Torpy, he went to a meeting with the families of the deceased and wasn't even briefed on the situation. One of the families told him that he thought the Nimrod was at Boscombe. One wonders why Torpy bothered to attend.
Experts at the Inquest testified that Nimrod was XV230 was not airworthy on that fateful day and that the aircraft could only be considered airworthy when risks were reduced to ALARP. Now we have a politician, namely Ainsworth telling the families that it is ALARP, airworthy and safe to fly, because someone "has told him."
Why are we taking the word of a politician, when the experts say something different?
Why is a serviceable frame being stripped when Ainsworth has no worries about the safety of the aircraft?
