I am told that the original decision to proceed with Court Martial was made at Air Rank level outside the ATC specialisation, this officer has susequently retired.
Quite what his motives were, I can only guess but he certainly made his decision without having the findings of a Board of Inquiry at hand as one was never held.
Even though the case is now in the hands of the Director ol Legal Services RAF it must still be under direction from higher level.
Someone,somewhere is still pressing hard for a scapegoat or this whole shambles would have been called off some time ago .
