Suspect BoIs
The loss of Tornado F3 ZH558 near Akrotiri on 1 Jul 1994 should , in my view, certainly be looked at again - the time frame of the investigation and RO's comments closely parallel those of the Mull. The main BoI and AOC 11 Gp all decided that there should be no findings of negligence - quoting the rules of AP 3207 - quoting the same rule, and without apparently needing any legal advice from DLS the AOCinC decided that he had "no doubt whatsoever" that the crew were negligent. So one man's opinion (for that is all it can be) overules everybody else - is that how the BoI process was meant to work?
Given the Mull ruling on burden of proof I would imagine the families concerned would be in a good position to require MOD to clear the crew's names should they wish to pursue this.
