Perhaps it seems stagnant to an amateur because it is being conducted by professionals.
Please appreciate it is wise to keep powder dry. Anyone is free to post on pprune, and on the MoK thread it became clear to all that a retired VSO (3 Star) was acting as the mouthpiece for the others and continually fishing for strategy hints. He's now retreated, perhaps because he got found out and was identified as the 3 Star under whom the original policy that led to the rundown in airworthiness was developed! He kept challenging us to post evidence and probably got quite a shock when papers from 1987, including those promulgating his policy, were sent to Lord Philip, especially after he and his cronies had denied their existence. That became a common feature in the evidence. MoD denying policy papers existed, followed by them being provided to Lord Philip for the first time. In time, (December 2010), Lord Philip started asked us first for MoD papers, as MoD kept saying they didn't have them. Sooner or later such dissembling works against you, especially with a legal mind such as LP's. The resultant distrust of anything MoD says is ever more widespread.
