Sarcs, BC may have signed off on the RCA's but my source tells me that the 'author of the RCA's' has more qualifications than BC! There are more twists to this than in Michael Jacksons colon.
It would also be rumoured that there has been quite a number of audits in which others sign off on RCA's they have not written themselves.
If you take a close look at the SAR (version II so far??) that Flight Nurse Karen Casey was able to get under FOI and then look at the list of RCAs:

You'll see that other than the first 13 RCAs that were signed by the FOI assigned to Pel-Air the rest, although appearing to be written by various Special Audit Team members (including BC), are countersigned and filled out by the Audit Skulldinator....

FS said: As for the Lockhart paper he said it was a test to see if he was appropriate material for the ALIU manager's position prior to Norfolk and when he bagged CASA's responses in the paper he wasn't surprised to learn that he was judged to not fit the position even though he was an accident investigator with a previous employer. Still, he finds it all an amusing memory now that he has had to retire.
So Spike it was more a test of whether he would tow the party line? And the dude failed miserably...so Messr RW gets the gig because he is itching to feed at the trough and has previously been a reasonable master of spin and obfuscation and considered more than a match for the numpties at the bureau...hmm makes sense I guess???

For those interested I also found this interesting released FOI documentation, which is a copy of an audit on Pel-Air in March 2008:
