I cannot believe that there are so many gullible people at the MoD being conned by these snake oil salesmen and their absurd crock of $hit gas bag nonsense.....
BEags - I doubt it is anyone in the RAF/RN but probably a gaggle of those that wear brown and smell of mud. I remember sitting on a panel for the dreadful Herti that was full of brown jobs. I was the only voice of reason and having wasted loads of time and effort, guess what? The whole thing was a disaster! I wouldn't expect to sit on a panel about boats or tanks, so what makes them think they should for aircraft? Unless of course they wear a light blue lid and then that's different. Sadly in my experience it tends to be some thrusting Wupert with a jumper knitted from the fleece of a rare Outer Hebridean goat and such odd features that their in-breeding is fully evident!
