Obviously you believe that the RAF is so arrogant that it would not act upon any recommendations?
Of course they are. Demonstrated time and time again. How many of the CHART recommendations were implemented (Aug 92)? The fact they had to be repeated by the Hercules, Tornado, Puma, Nimrod ARTs (1996-98) speaks volumes. And still weren't implemented.
How many of the Director Internal Audit's 19 recommendations were implemented (June 1996)? None. #13 alone would have prevented the need for Haddon-Cave. Two or three others would have avoided the financial black hole.
You believe that the Air Force hierarchy would just allow or be allowed to put team members and the general public in "danger"?
Yes. Proven fact. See Mull of Kintyre Review. ACAS's illegal RTS. And Hercules. And Nimrod. And so on.
All very repetitive and unpalatable, but simple fact. I suggest you not only read the full SI report, but also compare the recommendations with (a) mandated policy and (b) previous reports.
Why make 56 recommendations that are mandated policy? What does that tell you? What does the need to repeat recommendations from previous reports say about the MoD's ability to learn lessons and adhere to its own regulations? It says it cannot be trusted to police itself, and the system is not fit for purpose.
