Follow the link, if you haven't already, just to see what a great and decisive man Des Browne is. The simple answer is to stop dragging their heels and just fit the foam.

Yeah I Know its PPRUNE...BUT its worth while - We all fly on these aircraft and its not just the fixed wing stuff eventually the MoD are going to have to look at the rotaries .
Whose safety are you ensuring? Yours, mates, a loved one? Don’t let the Hilton 22 crew die in vein and let’s do something to ensure that the chances of this are reduced.

Er guys, just a thought here please don't flame me as I'm just thinking aloud..

I recall not so long back a couple of our NCOs got carpeted for signing a petition to get something changed (within the mob). As serving personnel the powers that be determined that their actions could be construed as mutiny. I know that sounds real dramatic and OTT and I'm not being too specific but its just something I remember happening. In the end they withdrew their names and were given a verbal slapping, thats about all.
Can anyone verify if this is the case (i.e. forbidding servicemen from petitioning against the crown), I'm quite happy to be proven wrong.

Thanks.
