Distant Voice:
Ed, I can not believe that the crew would not have raised an IR had they been aware of all the facts.
Well neither can I DV, And I cannot believe that anyone else can doubt that an IR should have been raised, whatever they might be aware of. Might the point at which incidents no longer rated Incident Reports coincide with the start of the deterioration of UK Military Airworthiness enforcement, or is it a case of chickens and eggs? At any rate they are coming home to roost with a vengeance now!

As usual, the Beancounters know the cost of everything but the value of nothing.
Very true, but the real flies in the ointment are the Air Officers who went along with the Beancounters and enforced this suicidal pact. With leadership like that the problems we are faced with now followed as sure as night follows day.
