HC2 gadget query
Walter
Wratten stated MALM Forbes wasn't carrying out his Nav duties. Wg Cdr Pulford thought he was. There is a little spat going on between the current CAS and a more junior retired officer. (A situation which I suspect brings a smile to one, and makes the other kick his cat). If MoD ever answer the question, let us know as I agree it is important.
As you know, a few years ago MoD would never answer such a question. Nowadays they might. After all, on 28.2.12 they admitted that the Mk2 only had a ground training and familiarisation clearance on the day of the crash; due to be renewed within 2 weeks.

The question was put out to aircrew familiar with HC2 Chinooks.
It is a simple seating question - not how something works or what it is used for. So it is not a great secret concerning operational use these days - it could only be seen as sensitive in the context of that crash.
If you give a damn about getting to the bottom of this incident and hopefully getting true justice for that crew please speak up.
If you are afraid to answer an innocuous question about a seating position then this forum is useless for this case.

The original question was...
It was pointed out that you already have the Service Deviation providing the information. The question implies you have evidence that the SD is wrong; at least for ZD576. Please say if you have.
If the question is now about where one of the crew was sitting or standing, you've been told where to find the two (or even three, or four) official answers. Which one do you believe? Or, if you prefer, state who lied. Help us narrow any reply down, as I'm sure any aircrew could give lengthy replies on each option, only for you to try to shoot them down for trying to be helpful.
The link is for a picture of a card holder - did one flip it up or remove card to view RDU?
