thanks for the input Tuc and others.
It still seems crystal clear to me however, that it is the Scottish Legal System in the dock (pun intended). If there was hegemonic influence from third parties, frankly that makes it even worse.
Having seen a number of threads by DV on this subject, it seems to me that if he (or she, idk) wishes to get useful information, it would be best that the threads are kept firmly on track and not drift off into MOD/RAF bashing or rumour/innuendo about specific accidents - neither of which are pertinent to DV's specific task. Which, unless I am mistaken, is to database all military aircraft fatalities, in Scotland, in recent history and find out which, if any, had a Scottish FAI.
