No doubt..................? Evidence would be good at this stage.
Well wouldn't it? It would have been even better some 15 years ago when it was suppressed/withheld/ignored/adulterated (select your preference). I was merely making the point that the accident may well have been down to pilot error. You think it was, I think it wasn't. Neither of us can prove our case or disprove the other now. It is probable that we never could. What can be proved, providing the investigation is thorough and independent, is the case that tuc puts, that the Chinook HC2 was forced into service with the RAF in contravention of the UK Military Airworthiness Regulations and that consequently ZD576 was Grossly Unairworthy when it crashed onto the Mull of Kintyre. That is very relevant IMHO and if proven opens up the possibility of criminal charges being laid against those involved in that act and the subsequent cover up. As you say, evidence would be good at that stage and I trust could be forthcoming.
