Danny, your tale of the "good show" of your chum Bish is a classic case of where one knows that it will all end up with a Board of Inquiry, whatever happens.
As it turned out in his favour anyway all well and good, but I wonder if it occurred to him to ask that the BoI be convened and publish its findings while he was still airborne? All that he would then have to do was to follow their recommendations to the letter and future happiness and prosperity would be assured!
