Amazon says 4-6 weeks delivery on the book so I'll wait. But reading the preview makes me think this should be required reading in MoD, along with the evidence to the review.

It looks like there is some quite interesting stuff toward the end explaining why no one has been brought to account, despite Hadden Cave naming about a dozen people. Collusion between RAF police and the Health and Safety Executive is mentioned. Pretty ironic, the week HSE decided to proceeded against a rail company for level crossing deaths. As a senior QC he must have been confident the burden of proof had been met to name them in the first place, and could be met in court. IIRC, the main Nimrod thread mentions that more senior people oversaw the failings, which is probably where the real story lies.
