Mr Purdey,
thank you for your response to my last. If you click the link labelled 'Channel 4 Website' in my #
5310 this will bring up the letter. I would appreciate you having a look at it and giving your considered response to my questions:
(1) If you agree that I have transcribed the paragraph accurately.
(2) This letter indicates that OC RWTS thought that the Mk2 Chinook was unsafe.
Now in response to your question to me:
If no rectification was undertaken, then presumably the Chinooks are still not airworthy.
I am not qualified to make a statement on the aircraft airworthiness, but I seem to remember a lot of work going on on the Mk2 Chinook post arrival from Boeing (and both pre and post the Mull). I also seem to recall that some of this work was to the FADEC. However, I must place the caveat on this statement that it was not my trade area and my mind could be playing tricks. This is the reason I asked Atlantic Cowboy, who claims to be involved in the investigation, if an airworthiness audit was carried out (#
4070 ) an answer which you agreed was required (your #
4355). Since then Atlantic Cowboy has not been about.
Best regards 8-15
