Well it all sounds very plausible to me, even if the media in general have decided not to touch it with a barge pole. The lot of a whistle blower in this country is still pretty parlous. The lot of a whistle blower in the MOD is decidedly hazardous. We have had testimony on this very forum that it is MOD policy (confirmed by ministers) that it is legal to issue an order to disregard safety regulations but sign them off as complied with, and that it is an offence to disobey such an order.
The fact that such a situation is in direct conflict with Military Law does not seem to concern the RAF Provost Marshal nor the Thames Valley Police. Evidently there is nothing to be seen here and we should all move along...
If Sqn Ldr Bunce was complaining about having tripped or fallen at work he would no doubt now be wallowing in piles of our money. The fact that he reported the possible theft of our money by those above him condemns him from the very outset.
