Spot (+family),
we've never met, and this is my first visit to the ATC Thread as I normally live on the Chinook one.
My thoughts are with you at this time. It would appear that the RAF has not changed on iota. The finger pointing and sloping of responsibilities still goes on. I'm amazed that there is anyone still serving below the rank of chief of the greasy pole!
I have just read the thread from start to finish and I hope you take great comfort from the support and belief in you by many people.
I have a fair knowledge of the mindset of the RAF in situations such as this. If there is anything I can offer, it is yours for the asking.
To quote the father of Rick Cook, one of the Chinook pilots - "Justice has no expiry date".
I wish you and yours, Sir, every wish in the world for a correct and just outcome.
Best Wishes
Brian
