Townshend’s actions cost the RAF almost a million pounds
Prosecutor Nigel Lickley QC told the court martial that Townshend’s actions cost the RAF almost a million pounds
£207,000 on repairs to the aircraft, tail number ZZ333
£827,000 on chartered civilian aircraft to replace the rest of the RAF Voyager fleet for the 13 days they were all grounded as a safety precaution.
Er, maybe maths isn't my strongest suit, but how much coimpensation for :
injuring passengers and crew
and
Townshend’s co-pilot’s back was broken and he also suffered nerve damage and a ruptured disc
So, a clear statement of RAF priorities there ....
