It is a very sobering read especially if you currently have a job with delegated airworthiness responsibilities!
It will be very interesting to see how the RTSA deals with the imminent sign off of the Chinook HC Mk3s that are reportedly due to enter service before the end of the year.
If the rumoured 'issues' surrounding this particular white elephant are to be believed, I for one, would think long and hard before authorising a Release to Service in order to satisfy the political pressure to finally get the aircraft flying. Just because the 'reversion' programme was heralded as a means to deliver the 8 ac into service within 2 years (from Mar 2007!) I would hope that the H-C report will prevent a re-occurrence of the rushed Chinook Mk2 introduction.
Hopefully the H-C report will indeed prevent the possibility of a repeat of the Nimrod tragedy.
