Well it's really down to the Royal Air Force, caz. If it chooses to say that it cannot/will not reopen the BoI so be it. I merely say that this accident should be revisited and be properly investigated. One way or the other the truth will out. It always does. In the other examples of BoIs that I mentioned previously, ie those of the Iraq Hercules and the Afghanistan Nimrod, their shortcomings became apparent when others did the work that they should have done; to find that the first was unfit for purpose, the second unairworthy. The same thing will happen again unless the Royal Air Force regains the initiative, takes new evidence into account and comes to a proper and just finding on why this aircraft crashed. The ball is in the CAS's court...oh, I'm beginning to see where you're coming from caz!
