Ali Barber:
You've never written a report or a confidential, that indentified someone as an idiot?. Should you be sued?
Wrattens and Days finding was an RAF finding, and RAF alone, as far as I know. The pilots were never found negligent in a civil, coroners, or criminal court.
The real issue at stake here, as I see it, is not really about the crash. It's about a public campaigns ability to challenge senior or junior officers descisions.
Just wait for the day, that a GR-7 drops a bomb in the wrong place and some bunch of MPs want him prosecuted, and the RAF says "hands off". That'll be an interesting debate.
