Hammer, Nail, Head, dervish! The RAF has two choices, to protect its aircrew and pax, or to protect retired and serving Air Officers and their Staffs. So far it has chosen the latter option for the past 26 years, at the cost of many Airworthiness Related Fatal Air Accidents.
It shows no sign of changing, hence the compromised Haddon-Cave report, hence the compromised MAA, hence the absence of effective UK Military Airworthiness Regulation, hence unairworthy military airfleets. That has nothing to do with the Regulations, but everything to do with those who cannot or will not enforce them.
Rebadging and rewriting is simply rearranging the deck chairs as the water rises ever higher. The RAF, as the major military air operator, has to bite the bullet and realise that self regulation doesn't work and in aviation it kills!
