Low level training in the UK is limited - so how do the crews practice unless they do it unofficially?
"Unofficial" training is usually code for wazzing and zooming. It will kill you on operations just as quickly as in peacetime, and yet there is a tragic and unrelenting history of this type of accident on every major operation. Killing your colleagues or turning a critical theatre asset into a Cat 5 has a major effect on everyone's moral and well being. The masturbatory fantasy of avoiding a SAM or RPG through exploring some heroic, yet untested, corner of the flight envelope is utter tosh.
As for speaking in respectful tones, why yes, the dead deserve respect. But even more respectful is making sure their colleagues who are still alive today avoid the same pitfalls that killed them, even if it highlights personal shortcomings. Better to be blunt and breathing than deferential and dead.
PS. Quite staggering to see that after more than 30 years of service Westland and the MoD appear content for Lynx crews to risk being burned to death any time the aircraft hits the ground. Just about every accident report castigates the fuel cell and fuel coupling design as non-crashworthy, yet apparently it's not "cost effective" to fix. Just look at the full list of Lynx crash related fires - it's unconscionable.
