So, UK Military Aviation is to have an "Independent" Military Aviation Authority, commencing operations April 2010. One of the early indicators of the extent of its "Independence" will be the necessary and urgent audit of the airworthiness of the military airfleets, including of course the Chinook Mk2. If that is done thoroughly it cannot fail but confirm what has emerged on this thread, that the Chinook Mk2 was grossly lacking in airworthiness when released into Royal Air Force service and retained that deficiency at the time of the tragedy that is the subject of this and preceding threads. Thus the MOD will have produced for itself the "new" evidence without which it has refused to budge from its obdurate position that the Finding of Messrs. Wratten and Day must stand. If it does indeed accept that ZD576 was grossly unairworthy when it crashed into the Mull then the gross injustice perpetrated by the RAF upon the memory and reputations of its pilots must surely be righted. If it is not, because there is still "no new evidence", then I contend that the MAA will have shown itself to be the SoS's Poodle and totally "Dependent".
