Short Interview with Director General of Military Aviation Authority.
First briefing for authority set up after fatal Nimrod crash | British Forces News
He doesn't say much, but omits something very important. In stating that MoD were not "joined up" and didn't manage from "cradle to grave" (implying they now do), he conveniently omits that MoD used to do precisely that until, for example, the specialist airworthiness sections and committees mandated by Secy of State, and which comprised the bulk of MoD's expertise and held most of their corporate knowledge (both important airworthiness components) were disbanded in 1993 by the RAF. Nor does he say that numerous recommendations to resurrect such a system were ignored throughout the 90s/early 00s, and it took this tragedy to drag MoD screaming into the 80s.
Nevertheless, the MAA now exists and they need our support. But without acknowledging the above, how do we know they are not simply reinventing the wheel?
