Ed,
That is either a very bold, very stupid or very naiive statement to make about XV235, and I think it is probably the middle one.
To further state that the RAF has now declined to allow AAR of Nimrod because of the crews 'emotional frailties' is a pretty poor thing to say about your fellow aviators at Kinloss, as well as your superiors.
I have no doubt that those on board 235 that day might not agree with your comments, but then again, as you keep telling us, you know best.
