And a high rotational rate whirling of 'kerchief and deep bow to you too, Sirrah!
Isn't it time that we all started to join up the dots? For those like me who have moved from incredulity through jaw dropping amazement to sickening acceptance of the deliberate bullying tactics of senior air officers to subvert and suborn the UK Military Airworthiness system as revealed by the likes of tucumseh, the HC3 farrago is merely par for the course. Thank God that it has only wasted money rather than lives as other airworthiness compromised accidents have. Ironic then that the very motivation was to save money; Penny Wise, Pound Foolish, eh your Airships? The military airworthiness scandal affects every military air fleet in the inventory. It will take decades to put behind us. The starting point must be to take responsibility for UK Military Airworthiness Provision out of the clutches of the MOD and into the hands of an independent Military Airworthiness Authority. Self Regulation is the British Disease. It never works!
