My interest in the airworthiness of the Chinook HC2 ends on the 2nd Jun 1994. My only interest is the state of the aircraft presented to Flt Lts Tapper and Cook on that day. I imagine few will be comforted by the suggestion that this aircraft was AT BEST a 'work in progress' at the time of the crash!

On that precise day, Boscombe Down test pilots thought it imperative that, in the strongest possible terms, the RAF should be provided with a recommendation to cease Chinook HC2 operations.

Sounds pretty conclusive (and damning) to me. Clearly you have found some esoteric way to read the words differently!

But then of course, you didn't actually say what you thought to Boscombe's recommendation!!! Care to now?
