"They were doing aeros in fog? Definitely negligent!"
The Recent Haddon-Cave Review pointed the finger at the loss of the RAF's Chief Engineer (CE) as one of the prime reasons for the acknowledged systemic failings in the RAF's adherence to safety directives.
Therefore, I would imagine that there are a number of questions about the record of the Chinook that we would all like to ask of all the most recent CEs. To that end, who exactly were the incumbents of the post of RAF Chief Engineer? (I have checked the Google & RAFweb and can find only one).
Okay, I'll narrow it down - RAF 'Chief Engineers' 1985 -1999. Any takers?
