Chinook
8.15from Odium
I seem unable to bring up the letter to which you refer, but I am happy to accept what you say. In answer to your question ie:
"((2) This letter indicates that OC RWTS thought that the Mk2 Chinook was unsafe".
What did OC RWTS do about it? The allegation was that AOC, CinC and even CAS, and their staffs, knew that the aircraft was not fit, and then insisted that it be flown, and when this machine crashed, they (to quote another contributer) "stitched up the pilots".
Do you believe that?
Did RWTS follow up their unease, and if not then why not? And, if RWTS did not follow up, then I do not see that we are any further forward, even if you believe (and as you know I do not so believe), that the crash was caused by some kind of technical failure rather than gross negligence by the crew
I hope my reply will not provoke yet another repetition of the familiar arguments!
With all good wishes, and thankyou for your courteous post JP
