If I did that to a military enquiry, I would expect a long holiday in Colchester.
Indeed. It is a wonder there have been no prosecutions. The Air Force Act 1955 is very clear, especially Part 2 29A (Neglect of Duty), 50 (Inaccurate Certification) and 62 (Making of False Documents).
Read the regulations. Read the Release to Service. A slam dunk, as they say.
No wonder MoD tried to claim there was no such thing as an RTS for the Mk2. Pity another part of MoD had already supplied it under FoI, naming the officer who signed it.
That attempted deception is also an offence.
