I think ACM Loader's comments should be put in context.
He was the man who contradicted the Minister for the Armed Forces (Adam Ingram) when he wrote (confirmed what everyone knew anyway, but Ingram had flatly denied) in the XV230 BoI report that systemic airworthiness failings existed in MoD.
I dare say he was PNG among his senior colleagues, especially the retired ones like Alcock, Bagnall and Graydon who hadn't the honesty or integrity to put their hands up and confess they had overseen the failures and refused to correct them.
I know which one I'd rather have in the police post.
