In the hope that this thread does not end up as "homework" marked and found wanting by Mr Purdey, I address the PPRuNe membership at large rather than he alone. We now have authoritative and respected comment that hitherto this tragedy was denied. It seems to me that there is case for a renewed BoI (MI?) into it. Not only will this bring fresh light to the circumstances surrounding it, and in particular RTS irregularities suffered by the entire Chinook Mk2 fleet. The Royal Air Force needs to put that scandal behind it. What better way than to conduct an objective and professional Inquiry, in other words a proper Accident Investigation? If it cannot do so then that is a comment on the RAF and in particular its leadership. Given the views already expressed in his letter by the Chief of the Air Staff, an unbiased appraisal of this accident would present a great challenge to the Royal Air Force. Can it rise to it?
