When I first joined the Police, many decades ago now, part of our training then, was precisely what to do at the scene of an air disaster. It was made clear to us that we were there for many functions, but to assist, as far they required it, the AAIB. In fact the investigation was entirely theirs ending with their findings being the basis for the inquest.We would have been given very short shrift if we had tried to usurp their role.
The presumption being that such crashes were accidents. Nowadays the senior officers are spineless glory hunters building false promises that they will ensure someone will rot in jail etc etc...Yes indeed very Daily Mail
