Mick Sm, no chance of that, you are p****ing in the wind.

Interestingly I was chatting with an ex RN Sea King pilot the other day, he was saying that in his time the RNFSAIC had "allegedly", on occasion, been known to protect the careers of high flying officers with their "helpful" contributions to BoIs when, how can one say it, when one had clearly fcuked up somewhat.

I guess it has always gone on to some extent, but I wouldn't be in a rush to place the findings of RNSAIC, or members of the Admiralty above those from a BoI.

What interested me from yesterday's article was the complete lack of comment from the MoD. Most unusual, I suggest we keep pushing on a half open door.

Until the children answer your excellent questions Mick Sm, I also suggest we ignore them.
