Is this the only aircraft, are there other aircraft with issues. Is it like the South African accident, is there a cavalier attitude to maintenance here in the UK. Surely the replacement parts in the UK are also past best too.
I know that this will not be relevant as far as the CPS, coroner and AAIB are concerned but this should be a concern to the CAA. Surely the false declarations made by several companies about the aircrafts serviceability to allow a permit to be issued should be investigated further and action taken as appropriate. Surely it would be better for them to act now rather than after an accident which is the direct result of a cavalier approach to maintenance.
