Cows Getting Bigger - Re post 575 – and also referring back to your post 528.
Would it be too disingenuous to suggest that if the 'airworthiness system' had worked 'properly' as some here would wish, the Chinook RTS might possibly have been withheld pro tem (ie - it would not have been released to squadron service) while certain issues were examined ? If so, is it then a step too far to suggest that that specific flight would not have taken place on that specific day and therefore that specific accident would not have occurred – might never have occurred - at least not in the circumstances and terms we know about ?
