Chug; Who, with clout, will take the airworthiness case forward, and challenge the findings of H-C?

(a) The media has lost interest. We may have new information, but Nimrod and Chinook are old stories.

(b) Most people do not understand the difference between serviceability and airworthiness.

(c) MP's are not interested as it has little or no benefit to their constituents

(d) Pledger and Cowan appear to have given up the fight, having been worn down by MoD

(e) H-C was paid £3.5 million for his report and received a Knighthood (I believe). Who in MoD is going to admit that his report was seriously flawed?

DV

Could be wrong about the KNighthood, however,

"The Queen has been pleased to approve the appointment of Charles Anthony Haddon-Cave, Esq., Q.C., to be a Justice of the High Court with effect from the end of October 2011 on the retirement of Mr. Justice David Steel."
