I hope some people in power hoist aboard the following three paragraphs and look more deeply into the report:-

Prof Watson said: "The initial Board of Inquiry findings were ordered to be altered by senior officers who had not taken part in the inquiry. Many will find this extraordinary."

He added: "The version of the Chinook which crashed had been newly introduced to service and had suffered many technical problems. Indeed, the RAF themselves pursued claims for compensation arising from faults.

"Those who ordered a finding of gross negligence have now been shown to have acted wrongly. They need to explain their conduct which has caused such hurt to the families and damaged the reputation of two fine pilots."
