Whilst your continual support of the cause of airworthiness does you credit, I think you need to view safety in its wider context and the MoD should be congratulated on its efforts in this regard.
Many of the issues of which you speak occurred when today's leadership were but junior officers and to suggest that they are actively complicit in fraud or illegal activities is absurd. Aviation regulation today is very different to 20 years ago, in all aspects. Please don't denigrate the hard work of the many well meaning people in the MAA and the single services doing safety today because of actions and decisions made by others many. many years ago.
The changes that have taken place since the crash of XV230 are immeasurable and many people have put their necks on the line to support these improvements, Wg Cdr Spry included.
Please support this thread in the spirit which, I think, led to its creation and enable Spry to support the future generation in staying safe.
