Chug and Tuc
Well said.
I am now more 'pro' your idea of an independent mil AW body than I was - but I would also add a 'military branch' of the AAIB and do away with BOIs and SIs entirely. It would be fascinating to see if a modern investiagtion, using the complete data, evidence and statements, with more appropriate and thorough investigative practices would come to the same assessment of this accident? I doubt it.

ps IS the original BOI report available anywhere?
