I am delighted that justice/common sense has prevailed in this case. The military is getting to quick to hang people out to dry who are doing their jobs, often under very stressful conditions. How could you ever recruit new controllers if the job description says 'By the way, if there is an accident on your watch we will do the utmost to blame you and bring criminal charges just to make us feel better'. The Army started doing it to 18 year olds on the streets of Northern Ireland to whom they had given rifles and then put them in to control riots. I'll drink a quiet toast to all on the defence team - you obviously ran rings around an inept prosecution case
