No he doesn't Dervish. I flew an aircraft for many years that apparently wasn't "airworthy". Did I worry about it? No, as far as we were concerned it wasn't unairworthy; it may have been...

In your opinion; just repeating it doesn't make it any more true. :hmm:

It is and IMHO you are wrong. You are slighting all those military personnel on accident investigations (including those on...

Bl00dy Hell :eek:



That is some kind of sweeping statement!! And probably a gross over exaggeration. Just think about all those military aircraft out there flying around serially un-airworthy. ...

Chug

I think you are confusing operational capability with airworthiness - 2 very different things. Those Blenheims and Battles were probably very airworthy, but they were just outclassed by the...

Seriously? In case you hadn't noticed, the RAF (and FAA and AAC) have been to "war" a few times in recent years. I'm not quite sure why any of the aircraft that have operated successfully in those...

Whose old ones? I'm guessing that the USAF might argue slightly differently.



That's quite a leap. Surely this is what risk management is all about? If he accepts that we can never achieve...

Chug

You will have to forgive me but I do not have a copy of the accident report to hand, but my (somewhat faded) memory seems to remember the fuel came from elsewhere leaking into the dry bay not...
