Indeed, my vague recollection is that a few stones were turned over and the way 8 Sqn had evolved as a standalone entity was subject to criticism. Certainly key members of the normal operating crew were not at their usual stations.
Looking back, the crash reminds me of the JATE C130 low flying incident at South Cerney where there was also a view cast as to how supervision of a unique unit had diverged from the norm; excellent flight safety and flying supervision lessons that should still be taught.
I've been to too many funerals brought about by pilots ramming the ground.
The memorial is one of the most beautiful and fitting I know.
