"It was simply not an option to continue to operate without a safety case"
A brave statement from AVM Turner, given the significant number of his colleagues who disagree, and continue to brief against those who prefer meeting legal obligations. Notice, no mention of there being no safety case in the laughably inept MoD letter Coffman Starter posted last week; although it did admit configuration control problems without offering that, by definition, this contaminated any safety case. The reason is now clear - like the Hawk/Tornado ejection seat, there was no safety case to begin with.
"Airworthiness is no concern of the RAeS" !
Careful Chug, the last time I directly quoted the RAeS's Chief Executive, the apologists had a rant.
Someone should write a book.....
