So, I've finally finished reading the report and I have two observations to add.
Firstly (we don't tend to give credit where it's due often enough frankly) but I think the ATC Supervisor did a great job in getting SAR airborne when she did and for calmly confirming the facts. Good to see some balls (you know what I mean) when they were needed.
Secondly, I will need some convincing that politicians and MOD are acting in anyone's best interests. How can a project be repeatedly delayed to the point that it actually takes an accident to galvanise the system into action?
I know how it happens (cost benefit analysis is the key term here) but it still makes me sick. With their figures and probabilities there is unlikely to be another Tornado mid air before the platform OSD so some could argue that spending the money on a CWS is just a waste of money now.
The whole process reeks.
