Good post Engines. Strange, isn't it, that an arbitrary and seemingly unjust decision in a Greek court triggers a recognition here of the arbitrary and unjust system that is UK Military Airworthiness Provision and Air Accident Investigation? Our situation is far more serious though, for not only have juniors been made scapegoats (even posthumously) but people have died. 62 of them in Airworthiness Related Fatal Air Accidents featured in this forum alone. That is the real scandal, that professionals are aware of the dysfunctional system that purports to be UK Military Flight Safety, they have reported it to Coroners, Fatal Accident Inquiries, Houses of Commons and Lords Committees, the Media, the RAF Provost Marshal, MPs and Ministers, and yet it remains compromised. Air Safety is not a plaything of politicians and Air Marshals to toy with but a highly technical system requiring continuous updating and evolution. 1987 was the date that an asteroid hit that system and was as devastating in its effect as any that affected life on earth in pre history. We are still reeling from it a quarter of a century later. No amount of sticking plasters, changing signs on doors or names of organisations will put it right. There has to be open recognition of the corruption and negligence that has brought us to this pass, and the necessity to remove Regulatory Enforcement and Accident Investigation from the operator, AKA the MOD. Haddon-Cave recognised the need for an MAA and MAAIB but failed to ensure their independence, the most vital thing of all. Until that happens avoidable UK military fatal air accidents will go on killing and wasting needlessly.
