Cazatou:
Have you missed post #4080 by tucumseh? It was addressed to you Sir, and I for one should very much like to know your response to it. Given your preoccupation with the importance of obeying orders regarding the eating of breakfast (with no proof that it wasn’t), could you please comment on the order given by an RAF AVM, on pain of dismissal and instanced by tuc, that his subordinates should ignore their mandated obligations regarding airworthiness and compound that by then lying in a cover up. In the light of later fatal airworthiness related accidents (including this one?) was this not potential manslaughter? Were you not in Group Flight Safety at this time? What could you achieve if identified airworthiness shortcomings shown up by the Flight Safety process could not be put right because of the obstruction caused by such orders? Were you aware of such orders? Were they not illegal orders that all military recruits are taught should not be obeyed but reported?
