To imply that anyone on a board is directed as to the findings is calumny.
And yet given under oath in evidence to, for example, the MoK Fatal Accident Inquiry, plus judicial inquiries. And addressed in a formal report that MoD and Government withheld for almost 25 years. (Tench January 1987). This has been stated many times on this forum over the years, notably by first hand witnesses to the briefing by a BoI President. It has also been stated here by a respected 1 Star former BoI engineering member. There is plenty of evidence, which is presumably why the Tench Report was hidden away.
Disparaging? What training is an engineering board member given that makes him able to carry out his role? Especially when senior staffs actively conceal evidence from him. That is not disparaging toward the engineer, but toward the system that permits it. Tench, again.
