I SIMPLY DON'T BELIEVE IT!
The central character in this whole episode has been told that he should not talk about the case. Yet a senior member of the Blue Mafia (mistakenly thought to be a gentleman) has been doing a roadshow, giving presentations on the subject (e.g. Boscombe Down - where a lot of rubbish was talked in the bar afterwards). Is honour now a defunct word? Do people have no shame? I was there for most of the Court Martial and, having an intimate understanding of ALL the evidence, can find no justification for the continuing misunderstandings about the case. There simply never was a case. The only people to come out of this with any dignity (apart from Spot and the CM Board) are the civilian witnesses who refused to be cowed by the ridiculous questioning by the prosecution. However, what they had to say didn't fit in with the establishment's preconceived ideas.
What a sorry mess!
