RAF CORPORAL FACING £270K WRIT OVER CRASH


08:00 - 04 June 2008

A Lincolnshire RAF corporal is facing a claim for nearly £300,000 after he crashed his TVR car into three aircraft engines belonging to the Ministry of Defence.

Matthew G*******s, who is based at RAF Waddington, lost control of his TVR Chimera at RAF Odiham in Hampshire, crashing into three containers with aircraft engines, according to a High Court writ.

The accident caused damage put at £270,233.43 to the engines, the writ says.

Now the Secretary of State for Defence is suing Cpl G*******s for the cost of damage to its property after the accident on April 8, 2002.

He negligently failed to keep a proper lookout, drove too fast and failed to avoid colliding with the three containers, the writ claims.

Swiss Des going back to his old job as a barrister? :hmm:

I do like the way this happened in 2002 and they are screwing him now.

1 Days pay a month for how long as a deduction? :bored:

I hope they also use the same stringent measures with the f*ckwit who procured the HC3 chinooks...................

D'oh indeed! I shouldn't post prior to at least 2 coffees. but his real name is in the paper and on their website for all to see.

I'll amend the original post though! :*
