Pobjoy :-

The question is will this be part of a coroners remit !!
Coroners are very individual as to what they see as their 'remit'. Some see it as not making waves, a theme that runs through the British Establishment like a stick of rock. Others see themselves as duty bound to finding out the real reasons why those who are the subject of their investigations died in such a violent way. The Oxford Coroner was very much of the latter persuasion and, though representing an 800 year old institution, had no hesitation in telling one yet to score its first century that there was something wrong with its bloody aircraft, ie that they were unairworthy! As airsound wisely comments we shall just have to wait to find out in this case which 'interested parties' are called to give their evidence and what use is then made of that evidence, but I hope that it is rather more comprehensive than the two organisations he instances and who have so far given us their tuppence-worth.

Meanwhile here is what the Coroners Service says of itself :-
