JTO, can I too add my thanks for your post? This is a site for Professional Aviators (both Air and Ground). This forum is for Professional Military Aviators, who should be greatly concerned about your post. It's all very well being concerned about the RAF's dirty washing being shown in public, perhaps it would be more appropriate to be concerned about the dirty washing itself. As tuc points out this is yet another example of a dysfunctional SI to add to all the others that have been more about cover up than about the avoidance of accident repetition.

Whatever the fate of this Voyager captain, the fate of the RAF seems to be that if and when it receives its 100th birthday telegram it will be as any other centenarian, able only to shuffle around devoid of its former fitness, for airworthiness will be but a distant memory.

Professionals who care for the Royal Air Force must demand that the cover ups end, and that Air Regulation and Accident Investigation be wrested from the MOD, and then be made independent of each other. Only then can the return to fitness begin.
