	House of Commons - Defence - Minutes of Evidence
		(Air Vice-Marshal French) Without knowing the details of which ones you are going into I think I would be into speculation here, but let me say from an airman's perspective it is very unfortunate but I think it would be wrong of me to say that we might not face similar situations in the future.
		Air Vice-Marshal, you are being far too reluctant to answer these questions.
		Obviously the pilot will have the last recourse to say, "no, I do not actually want to take this particular target." There is a whole range of other reasons but certainly it is not the processing of the information, it is the dissemination of the information that we could do much faster.
