Very sad, yes.
The part about there being no training manuals due to under-resourcing sounds a bit odd, though - what's the story there? Is the report implying that the people who should be managing and producing that stuff are too busy with tasking, or are there other factors in play?
It seems the authorisation process must have been ineffective in this case, too, if the bits about the inadequate training and qualifications of various crew are true.
I worked with Graham Lintott many moons ago and found him to be a good operator with a lot of cred and integrity (as per most of the 3 Sqn people at that det); it seems the organisation he was presiding over at the time of the accident has suffered a funding-induced decline, if that article's telling it properly.
If the situation is as bad as is alluded to, is it just money, or what?
