I'll take that as a NO, you haven't expressed your opinions to the BoI president.

It has been pointed out to me my post was lacking. The 4 wrong LRUs were two in each aircraft, not 4 in each. My phrasing was poor. I understand MoD admitted this under freedom of info but didn't realise it was an admission. which might explain why it was withheld from the inquiries. But the bottom line was the aircraft were nowhere near the aircraft spec and that contributed to their problems. Is a BoI required to check things like that?

You may be right that poor situational awareness had little impact, but the BoI disagreed. In a head-on it's an obvious consideration. I know others here see the similarities between this and other accidents, and MoD making the same mistakes on RJ.
