BBF:
And they probably would not choose to slag off their own aircraft. (as a lot of folk have done here)
To complain about the indictment of gross incompetance is silly. The fine is already paid.
It's not so much the aircraft I choose to "slag off" as those involved in rushing it into RAF service when it was not fit to fly, with very serious flight and engine control problems. I therefore cannot agree with your punch line (which I trust refers to the "finding" and not their deaths). In that respect "the fine" has been paid but by the wrong people. A double injustice!
PS The "indictment" was not of "gross incompetence", the Finding was of "Gross Negligence". Right finding but, as I say, laid on the wrong people!
