JTO, "we can not find it" does not just apply to the NART report. The BOI report into the loss of XV230 indicates that during the course of 2006 the aircraft had ONE fuel leak from a coupling. This data came from the computerised Maintenance Data System. However, a request for additional information relating to the date of the fault and its location on the aircraft could not be satisfied because "we can not find it"; even when the same search criteria was provided as that used for the BOI search. Initially MoD claimed that it would take too long to go through all XV230's documention to find the fault, until they were reminded that they had it on a computer data base.
