TN:
Sadly. Is it too late, I wonder?
Not sure of your reasoning there, TN. Are you saying that there is a Statute of Limitations for the offence of subverting the UK Military Airworthiness Regulations, or even of the military offence of issuing an illegal order? The limitation of the first is surely merely that relating to any alleged offence, ie the provision of proof. Not sure about the second I must confess. No doubt 2*'s and above are immune to Courts Martial, some certainly act as though they are. Perhaps someone could advise, together with the legal position of someone who has retired in such a rank. Can he/she be prosecuted for an offence committed whilst they were still serving? If so by whom?
