with a significant amount of brown-job representation plus the REME have been looking after engineering and there was an oil loss problem; so there appears to be "other pongos" with their fingerprints on this...
The oil loss problem is extensively and carefully identified in the report as being caused by "sludge" like deposits in the feed pipe and some evidence of filter blockage. It appears the REME Artificer may well have been one of the few staff involved in operating this RA system with the appropriate level of aviation training, and his/her post-crash actions are commended in the report. Aside from the matter of daily oil replenishments not being correctly recorded (noted as not contributory to the crash but adding to the difficulty of obtaining an accurate oil burn history for this engine) the actions of the REME and "other pongos" appear to be nothing but positive and professional.
Discovering that Royal Artillery soldiers may not possess the required level of Airmanship for the safe and continued operation of a complex air vehicle (introduced under a UOR) may be the most blinding statement of the obvious I have read in some time. This report attempts to obfuscate and dilute that point to the Nth degree by listing 68 recommendations!
Is this what we can expect from the MAA now, an absolute cast iron piece of CYA report writing that almost misses the point with its circuitous nature?
