walter kennedy:
This would be regarding the aircraft's airworthiness? What a dreadful waste of time if there was nothing (pertinent to this accident) wrong with the damned aircraft
So a known conspiracy, that is to subvert the UK Military Airworthiness Regulations over the last twenty odd years, as testified to on the Hercules (Parliamentary Questions) and the Nimrod accident threads, should go unconsidered on the presumption that even if it adversely affected the airworthiness of the Chinook, such consideration would be "a dreadful waste of time if there was nothing (pertinent to this accident) wrong with the damned aircraft"? Some presumption, Walter! Others have paid you the compliment that your realpolitik conspiracy theory may or may not have substance, but it does at least compel us to review and revisit all facets of this dreadful accident, and for that they applaud you. In return you pour scorn on another possible explanation, that airworthiness shortcomings in the HC2 at that time might have a bearing on why this aircraft crashed. You should set your sights on the MOD, not those who like you question their motives. There are those who simply say this was pilot error, and grossly negligent error at that. There are others who say that is not proven, and W & D's finding should be put aside, though pilot error was the most likely explanation. Others such as you and I feel that there were other factors at work involving skulduggery. Your skulduggery was committed on the Mull, mine in the MOD. Perhaps those 800 pages will tell which of us, if either, is right
