Nimrod review to reveal failures
The long awaited Independent review into the fatal Nimrod crash in Afghanistan will be presented to day and is unlikely to be happy reading for a number of parties. I have blogged on this on a number of occasions
It’s interesting to hear also (via Radio Scotland) that of the RAF’s current 11 Nimrods, none are currently deemed “airworthy”, 2 because of bird strikes but 9 because of longer term maintenance I assume associated with the issues raised by the crash.
Bob Ainsworth will of course repeat his mantra of
“report by QinetiQ on the Nimrod has been received and it does not identify any significant airworthiness issues”.
I suggest that this lie will be even more exposed after today’s report.
