CGB, I would suggest that they direct their quite justifiable anger not at the RAF but at its Higher Command. I believe that five of them wrote letters recently to the National Press suggesting that the finding by the Air Marshals W & D into this accident was perfectly justifiable and that they all stood by it. Whatever one's own personal take on this accident the one thing that seems to unite those who have posted here is that the finding was totally unjustified. Why part of the RAF High Command should choose to unite behind such an untenable position says a lot about themselves and of their military abilities. That is their business, it is the business of the Royal Air Force and especially its Senior Commanders to disassociate itself completely from such a shameful position. The RAF Provost Marshal's investigation into individuals named in the Nimrod Review should follow the evidence no matter how high up the food chain that it leads. To not do so will taint the Service forever with this scandal. Then and only then would those you speak of be justified in directing their righteous anger against the Royal Air Force as a whole.
