Flipster; "However, the MoD/CS/Sen Ofs are only human and I am quite happy to forgive and forget most errors and lapses, as long as
a. They were not willful violations or self-serving abbrogations of duty.
b. The lapses and faults are acknowledged and put right PDQ."
FRANK WALSH;
"Frank Walsh, who worked as safety manager for the Nimrod review and was the MoD's primary point of contact with the BAE Systems team carrying out the work, is said to have assessed hazards himself in a "slapdash" manner and failed to alert his superiors when he realised he had overlooked important issues.(Of greatest concern here is Hazard 73).
The report states: "Frank Walsh's failure to put his hand up and admit to his superiors that he had overlooked matters, and then effectively to cover over his mistakes, is his most serious failing. In doing so, he failed to act honourably.
"In matters of safety, there can be no compromise on openness and honesty."
However, the report's author noted that he should not have been placed in the position of having to manage the project with little, or no, supervision or guidance.
Mr Walsh no longer works at the Ministry of Defence."
So Frank Walsh is alleged to have failed to have acted honourably or honestly. Category A case Flip?
I wonder if he received an MoD bonus? Let's hope John Cooper is taking an interest.....
