Speaking about the findings, retired Air Vice Marshal Jerry Connelly, said: "This isn't something that has crept in over the past couple of years - I suspect it goes much further back in time - and whatever the structure of the air force there has been a chain of command at the top, monitoring and allowing the team to actually perform."
He added: "I cannot believe this has all come as a big shock to them and its hard to understand why they were not doing something more active to change that drift."
The British press seem to like going to Retired Air Vice Marshal Jerry Connelly for a quote.
Was he disappointed not to become an Air Marshal?
Is he now a 'consultant' earning money in the civvy sector?
