Too true. It'll be interesting to see if this much-heralded 'Holding to Account' policy will make any difference in the future. I don't think we should hold our breath!

I was taking the article seriously and then I read:
MoD police fraud detectives are investigating
I could only be more sure of the outcome if the RAF Police were investigating

Xenolith: I'm not a fan, but The MoD Plod's CID are widely recognised as one of the leading agencies specialising in fraud investigation. Only the City of London Police are regarded as having more specialist and experienced fraud detectives. Probably tells you a lot about the MoD, but there you go.

I still don't see what the problem is. Wars are for making money aren't they? If they weren't then the contractors wouldn't be so profitable.

No matter what the verdict, mud sticks. Their reputations will be permanently soiled.

Damn! There goes my hopes for the Military Aviation Authority's teeth!

Frankly, some of the article is utter hoop. The ex-copper was never a sqn ldr. The rest is probably true....

Does this add weight to the old dictum, "If you are in a hole, stop digging!"?

He made Flt Lt. IIRC, he PVR'd / left the Service shortly after getting back from a KAF tour. He went back out to KAF doing 'business' but was eventually kicked off the base as he was still using his RAF Copper Warrant / Badge as part of his 'business'. I'll shed no tears if he's sent down.

Some interesting tales floating around the office last week of him during his time in the Province. No friend of the resident sqns apparently.

Especially after one of their number lost his career over a drink+car incident a few years ago....

Ref the 41 year old retired Rockape Group Captain: read 3 year seniority wg cdr holding acting unpaid (also unwashed and unwanted just to collect the set) rank due to international pissing competition and preoccupation with 1/2 star count at KAF. Rumoured to have thrown in his towel when asked to go to PJHQ where his work would be supervised by grown ups.

Doubt there will be many tears if he is detached to the land of Stripey Sunshine at HM's pleasure - couldn't happen to a nicer bloke...
