This whole case is very strange.
The USAF conducted their own Board of Inquiry into this accident. The findings have not been passed to the RAF controller concerned. Surely an RAF Court Martial can not be held until his defence team have this information?
The RAF have not conducted a Board of Inquiry but have passed straight on to Court Martial - why ?
The choosing of Aldergrove as place for Court Martial seems very unfair to the accused controller. It will only add to his defence costs - already over budget - and makes close support from family and friends very difficult. I suggest he appeals to his MP if the RAF are not prepared to be more reasonable.
Hopefully we will be able to post the specific charges soon
