Well absolutely right, F3WMB, but that is the problem! What is the point of an Accident Investigator that cannot produce excellent SIs because it is part of a corrupt system that covers up and obscures the truth by acts of commission and omission?
We need to remember that the RAF started down this spiral of subversion and cover up by the issuing of illegal orders. Despite evidence being submitted to the RAF High Command, the RAF Provost Marshal, the Civil Police, FAIs, Coroners Inquests, Judicial Inquiries, Houses of Parliament Select Committees, SoS's, Ministers, and MPs, no VSO has ever been formally challenged with doing so, despite it being an offence in Military Law.
SIs that do not turn up all the evidence associated with an aircraft accident are part of the problem and simply ensure that avoidable accidents will simply go on happening.
The MilAAIB and MAA have to be made independent of this corrupt system and of each other if they are to do their job properly, which is to ensure that avoidable accidents are avoided in future.

Reason: Missed out Judicial Inquiries
