It is interesting that the USAF spokesman did not wish to "attribute blame" for the accident. This seems totally contrary to the RAF approach where there seemed to be an indecent haste to lay very serious criminal charges against Flt Lt Williams.

It is also interesting to note that the USAF were asked by the RAF to suspend their investigation pending the outcome of the Court Martial - now why would that be? Perhaps the RAF were hoping to offer a scapegoat to the USAF without the embarrassing possibility of the USAF arriving at a different conclusion thereby scuppering the RAF case.

This whole saga has had a rotten smell from the outset; this is not aided by the chief RAF specialist witness giving a roadshow on the Court Martial prior to BoI publishing it's results. If the new BoI attempts another 'fudge' to get back at Flt Lt Williams, it will be nothing short of an absolute disgrace....I am not holding my breath.
