SRENNAPS, no,mistakes from certain trades are never covered up, whilst I was at RAF Valley an aircrat (a beagle I think ) was filled with the wrong fuel, the engines cut out and it crashed shortly after take off. The three people resposible, bowser driver, refueller, and line supervisor, went to jail.
As ground crew, you can be held responsible for your work for up to 5 years...

I think sending personnel to jail is a Harsh idea.
What would it achieve??
I know they made a mistake, But didn't the Pilot/crew think to check the fuel also??
The driver, refueller, and line supervisor have probably had to live with their mistake for the rest of their lives.
I thought we worked as a team, And cross checked our work.
