Sorry for not getting online earlier, but I've only just managed to get upstairs (on my backside) to the PC after breaking my left ankle three weeks ago. Nine screws and a large metal strap are keeping things together and NO - I was stone cold sobre!!
The USAF conclusion is very interesting particularly as it ommitted to mention that 3rd Air Force documentation for UK procedures was culled from various RAF documents - JSP 318A/Low Flying Handbook etc. The CM heard that all Radar Service definitions were included ie Radar Control, Radar Advisory and Radar Information. In the latter case the court heard that in the UK terrain avoidance was the responsibility of the pilot, and this particular point was "accepted" as not being in the 3rd AF procedures!!! In other words, it had been unintentionally omitted when 3rd AF procedures were produced.
I can understand the "dirty washing in public" bit, but let's hope that the RAF BoI picks up on that particular point before too long.
