Ah, if only life were that simple, SiClick. Quite apart from the contractual problems that might stand in the way of your suggestion, what we are talking of here is an Air Accident Investigation conducted entirely by Air Accident Inspectors. Their findings would be the basis of any necessary remedial action required by the MAA, ie a process parallel to the existing Civilian one. The Services of course could and most probably would continue with their own SI's etc but would have to conform to the MAA's strictures. Thus the MAAIB would have to be able to access all facets of a Military Accident. Immediately one can see security aspects to this and at the very least their Inspectors would have to subject to the OSA. Whether that is the case of the AAIB I do not know but suspect not, hence the need for a specialist MAAIB.
