2 experienced Puma Pilots at posts 10 & 11 have difficulty recalling where the valves are.

What experience has the Coroner had of operating a Military Aircraft in a War Zone with the added pressures placed on the crews operating in such an environment? Has the Coroner ever even flown an aircraft of any sort?

If he has not, then how can the Coroner (without any experience of aviation -let alone the Puma Helicopter) decide what was (or was not) a contributory factor in the crash under combat conditions?

Mind you - he has got his name in the Papers.
