Caz,
I don't have the minutes. Do you?
Are you saying that the AFB ( or at least a part of it), signed off on such an important order by without fully understanding it?
That really flies in the face of your infalibility theory for Air Officers.
Or perhaps you are saying that the AFB were briefed by inferior Staff Officers when Wratten and Day were briefed by "The Elite" (You included).
Bit arrogant isn't it?
Even if the AFB were somewhat led astray by these "inferior" Staff Officers, they had 12 years to put it right before the Mull BOI.
Are you seriously suggesting that in all that time, neither they, or their Staffs spotted anything they would like to change.
The AP3207 was modified many times over the period.
Now,
Same question:
Did the AM's "findings" comply with AP3207.
If I signed off on an Order and then used the excuse I didn't understand it, I would face posible disciplinary action. To protect Wratten and Day, shall we discipline these idiots in the AFB who clearly did not understand what they were signing?
