Barnstormer, I'm familiar with the term flight risk in a judicial setting yet I can't see why this would be applied in this case, unless there's a lot more about this case and the individual that we don't know. (Between 1997 and 2001 I was involved, inter alia, in fraud investigation son RAF and other MOD sites). Although his military background sounds a bit dodgy, and this shouldn't affect his whistleblowing, it does sound very odd to me. Also revealing that he has done work for Cheltenham is a little unwise, to say the least.
Does anyone know this chap? There are just too many inconsistencies in his stories. On his linked- in page there's no reference to him being a Sqn Ldr and flying Harriers - and when did we in the RAF write letters of resignation? I smell...bs
