but I can think of over 70 families who would prefer the "devil we know" to be in gaol. A "devil" may be just about acceptable if it could be guaranteed that he would not systematically breach his own mandated regulations, and then lie in court about it. MoD has proven itself, time and again, incapable. That is not a slight imperfection. That is a direct attack
Tuc, I hear what you say but what I can't understand is that all of those 70 families' losses were subject to a Coroner's Court. That is an 'independent' Coroner and most definately not an MOD employee. So why were these people, that had been so obviously neglegent, prosecuted?

Brian, I agree. There are some dreadful cover ups at all levels of civil aviation from General Aviation to Commercial Air Transport. Often the commercial edge is what instigates such bad behaviour especially if profit margins are low.
