Caz, the corrupting effects of which I wrote were effected at a far higher level than that of Group FSO's. Having said that I was unaware that you personally were at Group then as an FSO. As tuc says the attempts were resisted by good men and women up and down the chain, but nevertheless the corrosive effect of such pressure would have had a debilitating effect on Flight Safety in the RAF generally. As to my contribution, it has been my understanding that the attempts to reduce the narrative reports extended across the system ie involving reports from both engineers and aircrew. I have heard of this before and believed it to be the case. However I take note of your comments and Beag's to the contrary, and am willing to edit out my "belief" to that effect in my post if there are no other recollections in support of that. This is not about individuals, other than the people who initiated such attempts to shut down the system, but of the Flight Safety system itself.
