Inshala, if there was such a discrepancy between the SI and your narrative, surely an official complaint would have been raised before it was released to genpub access?

Moreover, the SI stated that more than one pilot was flying without a valid IR. I found that strange as I was under the impression that military IR validity is maintained by test, not experience - but perhaps things have changed over the years.

The SI paints a bleak picture of RAFAT culture and practices; if that picture is (hopefully) as incorrect as you allege, then 'an MoD official' needs to come out and confirm your views. Otherwise it will simply go unchallenged and people will be none the wiser.
