Political pressure sees the RAF washing their hands of the body. When Harry carried out the ... (more)post mortem, he discovered that far from being the hero he thought he was defending, the pilot had been taking drugs to help tackle his insomnia following his experiences in Iraq.

The coroner suspected it was a case of pilot suicide. Harry opened the body bag: it was Henry Markham.
