The admirable Angus Stickler has just taken the Military Airworthiness argument a stage further on 'Today' on Radio 4. He has seen a hitherto unrevealed 22-year-old report from a former head of the AAIB (William Tench) which was commissioned by a defence minister (Lord Trefgarne). The report revealed long-term systemic deficiencies in military air accident investigation, but its major recommendations were shelved.
You'll be able to hear Angus' piece again later today when it appears on the Today website
