Have not Graydon and Alcock 'missed' (or blurred?) the vital point?
Why would the Royal Air Force wish to blame itself for this accident if there was the slightest possibility that technical fault might have been responsible?
- is not a technical fault
which was known to the RAF at the time an equally blameworthy event? It would seem that they both think that it would be 'someone else's' fault! Obviously placing all the blame on two dead pilots is the ideal escape route thereby avoiding any flak on their cronies.
