The grounding..sorry, pause in Voyager operations which resulted from this event caused great disruption to UK forces, the Afgan drawdown and must have incurred enormous costs in charter fees alone. Is it conceivable that the authorities would have taken such action if they had been in possession of a frank account of events from the Captain?
On the same lines, if one examines earlier posts by certain regular contributors there is a stream of posts pointing to quite specific technical faults hinting at inside knowledge but not supported by anything in the public domain at that time, simultaneous with a firm, indeed aggressive, refusal to entertain the possibility that crew action may have been a factor. Would they care now to explain their reasoning?
