TOFO, the difference between MOD incompetence and Edinburgh Council incompetence is that the latter can be sacked by those they represent whereas the former cannot. Despite clear evidence given to the Haddon-Cave and Lord Philip reviews of VSOs' incompetence, regulatory subversion, malevolent persecution of subordinates, and covering up (which continues) attacks on UK Military Airworthiness provision and maintenance, no-one has been charged let alone prosecuted.
The Air Cadets are merely the latest victims of this scandal which will continue until that evidence is acted upon and action taken to prevent a recurrence. That will entail making the MAA and the MilAAIB independent of the MOD and of each other.
