An aircraft was fraudulently released to service in an unairworthy condition, and an aircrew were required against their protests to carry out a mission in it. An accident subsequently occurred with no witnesses who could see the sequence of events immediately preceding the impact. Subsequently, evidence was withheld from the enquiry, and when that still did not produce the required result, a shameful verdict blaming the dead was imposed by those with a vested interest in cover up.
And one of their supporters in this travesty can still claim
the subsequent tragedy resulted solely from their inaction.
Hopefully, Lord Phillips (in possession of the withheld evidence, and the fact that MOD claimed such evidence did not exist) will take a different view.
