NART
In July 1998, the Nimrod Airworthiness Review Team (NART) produced a report which expressed real concerns about ensuring the future airworthiness of the Nimrod fleet. Haddon-Cave touches on this report, very briefly, in his review, but fails to spell out any details and in particular fails to identify the mistakes made to that date; in fact H-C shows a relunctance to go back beyond 1998. I understand that attempts to obtain this report under FOI appear to have been "blocked" under the MoD claim that "we can not locate" it. This sounds like the Chinook story over again when the CHART report was "burried" after being produced in 1992.
