BOI into the 2012 Tornado Collision over the Moray Firth

[Distant Voice]

RA 1210 is symptomatic of that failure. It was written by people who need to learn airworthiness rather than trying to define it for others

So who wrote RA 1210 (and the other RAs)? What were their qualifications? Who approved the end product? Was it Air Marshal (Retired) Sir Colin Terry, Chairman of the MAA Safety Advisory Committee? For those of you who may have forgotten Sir Colin Terry was Chief Engineer (RAF) from1997 to 99 and must have been aware of all the airworthiness issues outlined in NART and CHART that lead up to the Nimrod and Chinook accidents. He was also aware of the requirement to install CWS in Tornado GR4s, as this was specified in the 1998 SDR. As the previous MAA DG put it "a former RAF engineer of some repute"
