So you can get a feel for just how difficult it is to get answers from the RAF/MOD I address just one of your points as an example:
<<Has anyone checked the remainder of the wreckage, I believe, still in a hangar at Lee-on-Solent for suspicious gaps of the correct dimensions in the cockpit panels? >>
When I was over there (visit before last?) I made great efforts to get access, get someone independent access, or get just someone within the MOD to specifically check this; the response I had from the officer in charge of the facility was something like even his own men couldn't access it any more as there was a problem with toxic contaminants and in any case it was going to be moved somewhere else shortly.
