Astounding!
I haven't trawled through all of the document yet, and my recording of the late running debate turned up a lot about foot and mouth, but not much of the Hoon laugh in.
If it is true that the MOD said:
"No investigation into a serious accident can ever answer every question with cast-iron certainty".
Then they are once again admitting that they have failed to prove beyond any doubt whatsoever that this tragedy was caused by pilot negligence.
That extremely high burden of proof was required
expressly to protect dead pilots from whitewashes like this one. That it is damned hard to attain was deliberate. You have to be damned certain before you stain the characters of dead aircrew.
The HoL select committee grasped this fundamental and found the Air Marshalls lacking. Dark forces are at work, and they must be attacked 'gloves off'.
I say again:
Negligence is something which must be proved beyond any doubt whatsoever, not just used as a convenient cause when no other can be found.
Ark. So @!&*ing angry my keyboard is suffering
