Tuc, I certainly wouldn't take exception to anything you post on here. I have a great deal of respect for how you've been a determined contender for the truth on matters of airworthiness. If Mr Loader spoke the truth in respect of causal factors in the loss of XV230, then I'm impressed.
However, perhaps I wasn't quite clear enough in terms of where I was heading. Former high ranking officer who had potential to upset the apple cart for those worthless inhabitants of the Palace of Westminster is now firmly in their camp. So, highly unlikely to be willing to speak out against, say, David Cameron on the decision to cease having a long range maritime patrol capability.
My reason for opening the thread was simply that I had a casual read of the article and his words leapt out of the page. I wonder if he's lurking hereabouts?
