Whether they be RN, RAF or AAC, whether they be MTPs or UTPs, let us hope that for the sake of avoiding future avoidable accidents their experiences are listened to with more respect and attention than was accorded the Odiham TP by the Mull BoI, which settled on not calling on him to give evidence at all. A pity, as he could have confirmed that the type was unairworthy, a finding that the RAF has yet to arrive at, as opposed to finding the pilots Grossly Negligent with almost as much unseemly haste as it showed in rushing the type into service in the first place, over the protests of other TP's. I think they lived at Boscombe Down!
