Walter,
I have asked this before and you never got round to replying and I doubt that is going to change but
Who actually authorised this undeclared exercise?
The planning for such a mission would without doubt have involved the 7(SF) command chain and there would have been documented evidence to verify what had been arranged.
Or are you suggesting that the only 4 members of 7(SF) who knew what was going on were all killed that day. That their fellow det crews were unaware, the duty auth was unaware, the whole of the RAF Odiham command chain were unaware?
What scenario have for the fact that not a single soul has come forward to substantiate your claims?
Edited to ask if there are any 7(SF) Captains, past or present who tell me if the mission as proposed by Walter falls within or outside the powers of self auth that the crew may have been operating to?
