Truck, you are indeed correct his crew did let him down and that was apparent during the BoI their attitude to him towards the end of my interview was awful, as it became obvious that they could not blame anyone else all 3 of them turned on him asking various questions about why he did not do this or that, as a 30 year corporal techie at the time their behaviour towards both my team and me and to their supposed collegue was cowardly, not only that for me as a fairly young guy in charge of other even younger having to answer questions from them of why these officers and Master FE were lieing was embarrasing, these young guys are meant to aspire and look up to these people not listen to them blatantly lieing and trying to wriggle out of their responsibilities.
Thats all from me on the subject as even now as you can probably tell still grips me.
