No, not linked to that. The weather limits and rotor cautions came with the building of MPA.
The VC10 incident you are enquiring about was reasonably benign in the scheme of things. More of an operational hazard when you operate at or close to hard limits. Eventually the 1-in--a-XXXX event catches up with the best of us, especially when components are worn and tired.
The way you say 'investigation was internal and stayed in the FI' makes it sound dodgy. The occurrence severity dictated the process (incident report) and clearly the support network for the aircraft resides in the UK and the project team had matters to address.
The 1312 Flt VC10 involved was more at risk from the resident lady Hercules captain's jousting. The 1312 Flt Hercules itself didn't fair that well though, requiring remedial metal-bashing at Marshalls once it returned to the UK. I am convinced I saw the aircraft sigh with relief when she had to ground herself after burning her own vagina.
Interesting times.
