How can I access old RAF accident/incident reports?
When I was in the RAF, I regularly read and re-read Inspectorate of Flight Safety accident reports. Unlike the airlines I have flown for, which have, after something bad happened, mostly denied that anything at all had occurred (unless there was a hole in the ground somewhere) the RAF was very open in its reports and these served as excellent educational material/awful warnings* to other pilots.
I have tried to find old IFS reports online without success. The IFS has disappeared and been replaced by something called DARS. The latter has a negligible footprint on the web.
Does anyone know of a way to access these old reports?
