On numerous occasions you have regaled us with tales of you briefing Ministers on this accident.

You will therefore be familiar with this phrase, which adorns all Ministerial correspondence;
“The crash of Chinook ZD576 is the most extensively examined accident in the history of UK military aviation”.
Yet at #5770 you say…

“If the Mull BoI was flawed it must surely be as a result of the failure to seek information by the President”.
…..suggesting you agree it was flawed, as you have gone one step further and apportioned sole blame.


So, have successive Ministers been briefed truthfully?


8-15’s question is of course directly related to this. As you know, what he asks for
"is not to be destroyed until at least 5 years after the aircraft is out of service”.
Perhaps I should put you out of your misery and say MoD have on many occasions been unable to produce crucial extracts from this body of work. In fact, they have confirmed in writing that they do not comply with the regulations requiring them to maintain an audit trail (a fact even they cannot deny as it has been stated in official audit reports too numerous to mention). Perhaps you prepared that draft?
