THAT is precisely why MoD doesn’t want to go there in a legal sense.
Is this also why the likes of John Purdey and cazatou do not seem to want to go there either?

The DECU connector is a straightforward, unarguable example of the failure of the RAF to ensure airworthiness of the MkII Chinook. It also provides a clear, possible motive for the actions of Wratten and Day which have been the reason for this thread for far too long.

I have raised this issue before and even been chastised by PM for doing so. I am delighted that tucumseh, with his inside knowledge of the MoD has confirmed that it is a serious issue which should be addressed.

Perhaps it is time that we took a leaf out of the C130 and Nimrod books and went on the offensive against the MoD over the airworthiness issue.
