JP my miserable name is of no significance to this tragic story, but the facts are. That is what Lord Philip needs to Review, the facts. Most of those facts will not be found in what the MOD endearingly calls the "existing evidence" because that "existing evidence" is woefully short of facts. If his remit is to restrict himself to reviewing the "existing evidence" it will be a pointless and fruitless exercise. Interestingly enough it seems that the "existing evidence" is indeed to be enhanced, but by the claim that the BoI found that the aircraft was fully airworthy, if the story fed to the BBC is to be believed! Where did it say that, JP? How did it determine that, JP? How does that gel with BD grounding their aircraft immediately prior to this accident and warning the RAF to do the same, (not considered by the BoI)? How does that gel with the numerous incidents of runaway ups, downs and other power excursions as well as jammed flying controls experienced inter alia by Sqn Ldr Burke, RAF Odiham TP, (not considered by the BoI)? There you are JP, another four questions to be ignored with the contempt they are due!
