Airpolice - It's a risk, certainly. In my time (80s, early 90s), accidents occurred that showed the risk is higher in small/unique units. There is always the balancing factor that the aim of an Armed Force is not just to complete paperwork. I can remember certain paperwork stats that were literally impossible (because certain aircraft/equipment no longer existed), yet insisted on by NATO. Do you lie and fill in the 'We've done it box', or cause a whole load of aggro (which won't fix the problem) and tell the truth? What most (and I) did was to lie, but make a special point not to let lying become a habit.
