what the experts of the day have surmised from what has been available.
The experts of the day were conspicuous by their absence from the BoI, and we are only hearing from them directly 15 years after the event. That is why I call for the BoI to be reopened, so that the evidence that was not then heard can now be. This is the one opportunity the RAF has to redeem its good name so besmirched by the malignant machinations of its High Command. Yes of course they could repeat the same exercise all over again. But with the whole world watching? If they were so stupid (and on past form it is of course possible) to do so then that simply adds to the case against them in the then inevitable legal battle. Long after the participants in this saga are gone including all present here, the Royal Air Force will, I hope, still be there. It could well do without the shame and stigma of its own continuing "Dreyfus affair". Oh, and to any whose coats may be of a different hue, a word. Schadenfruede only works if you or yours are not included among the "others" to which it refers. Given the purpleness of the MOD plain that would be most unlikely. This is about far far more than the reputations of two junior Royal Air Force officers, important though that is.
