Deliverance, I agree. Whilst this is probably the most thorough military accident report I have ever seen, I can't help thinking that the key messages are somewhat diluted by some of the noise. Sure, someone needs to pick up how air traffickers are authorised but does this really need to be commented on in the SI? At times, I thought the report read like an MAA shopping list, having been passed round all the desks within the organisation, each feeling obliged to make an observation.

That said, it is heartening to see that this accident has warranted far more than the traditional "pilots failed to see each other" and it does seem to reinforce weaknesses spotted after other relatively recent high profile accidents.
