Over the years, many of us have heard people talk about AOCs convening the BoI and 'briefing' the board about 'the cause' what to report - allegations repeated on every FS course I attended and there is no smoke without fire.
One that comes to mind is the accident involving 2 x F3s, who came so close to a mid-air - not sure whether it was the 'NVG formation' incident or the 'fin-scrape' during ACM. Either way, it has been said that when the AOC (11 Gp?) convened the enquiry, he had briefed the BoI to come to a specific conclusion but BEFORE any evidence had been taken. Would anyone care to add fuel to the fire on this or any others by PM if necc?
