The points you make do nothing to further either debate or the campaign. There is no evidence explaining precisely the motive of the senior air officers. If you have the evidence, rather than cynical general points of view, place them on this thread.
Many ask the question why these men and one woman were put on a mil. craft - it was SOP. The request for them to fly together came from one of the pax who subsequently died. The pax had no idea Tapper had asked to use a Mk1 for the transit because he didn't trust ZD576. Odiham did know about the request and turned him down. That probably brings us closer to the truth over Air Marshal motive than anything else I have read.
What do others think?
