For those who are still a little unclear as to the story, I shall attempt a
précis.
RAF controller working at Scottish ACC providing radar information service, in accordance with unit rules, to a pair of USAF F-15s over the Scottish Highlands (NB. under a RIS the pilot is responsible for his own terrain clearance). The F-15s then fly into the ground with fatal results, despite having been seen in visual contact with the ground over a period by several witnesses. Scottish legal system conducts a hearing and decides there is potentially a case to answer for unlawful killing, but hands jurisdiction over to the RAF. RAF then convenes Court Martial in Northern Ireland, having changed the rules applicable to the provision of a RIS several times in the interim.
My very best wishes to the controller involved for a swift and just outcome.
I have the same wish for another RAF controller with a pending Court Martial following a fatal crash. This one is quite convoluted - RAF controller on NATO detachment in Yugoslavia working United Nations aircraft flown by French Air Force crew. I gather that this hearing could implicate a significant number of members of the RAF hierarchy as to the handling of the deployment.
I sincerely hope that justice is done, and without delay, but the apparent culture within the MoD of "don't confuse me with facts when I've made up my mind" that characterised the Mull of Kintyre Chinook crash investigation does not bode well.
