The first bit I picked up on was MoD rejecting safety critical modifications. The Tench report cites such an example on Lynx alternators, unactioned 5 years after a transmission deck fire.
This has been repeated many times here:
My story is one of mismanagement and obfuscation at the highest levels, often by past colleagues; of incredible support from the least expected quarters; of downright untruths by the ‘great and the good’; of lack of proper forward planning; of disregard for the well-being of the pilots who flew the aircraft.
including minuted comments on how proud the MoD and Civil Service staff were with the way they had put their political master off the trail.
We saw that last bit on the MoK thread with the disgusting posts by "Atlantic Cowboy". We saw the first at the FAI in 1996, when MoD's QC reckoned safety regulations were irrelevant. A view repeated at the XV230 Inquest 11 years later.
