Re your last Post.
1. I have read the assertions of Tucumseh but I have not seen any evidence to that effect. I do not say that he is making it up - I do not know.
2. What I do know is that no fault was found by the AAIB following the crash of ZD576 that could have caused the crash.
3. I am not aware of any major modification or rectification programme to correct any shortcomings found by the AAIB which contributed to the crash.
4. I have not read or heard of any similar Chinook accident in the nearly 15 years since this tragedy.
5. I am aware of the blatent disregard of Standing Orders and Instructions by the 2 Pilots of the aircraft for which (as the outgoing and incoming Detatchment Commanders) they must equally share the blame.
