Thanks. I seem to recall this being discussed before and, from memory, the Air Force Act 1955 (and successors) included an offence of (for example) making false certification, carrying up to 2 years in gaol. Only, senior officers and ministers actually took the view that refusing an order to make false certification is a disciplinary offence, and remains so. So any attempted prosecution would be interesting, as exhibit A for the defence would be these ministerial rulings. I think that was one reason why TVP didn't want to know about XV230.
