BOAC, the problem with another Haddon-Cave would be the problem with the original Haddon-Cave, the MOD! The Royal Air Force needs to distance itself from the baleful influence of that monstrous ministry. That the RAF High Command cannot is their misfortune. There is more at stake here than the reputations of two deceased pilots, for the reputation of the service that they served and loved itself is similarly mired. By conducting a truly independent (ie of the High Command) Inquiry it can distance itself from that mire and regain its own reputation, whilst rightfully restoring (for what other finding than CNPD could it come to?) the sullied reputations of these two JO's. If the High Command then did another W&D they would be rightly pilloried for injustice piled upon injustice and create a crisis for the Royal Air Force. Surely even they would baulk at such arrogance? A proper Accident Investigation that restored the reputations of the pilots is surely to be preferred to an administrative gesture forced from a sullen MOD?
