I don't really understand why you are dragging up what is a very bad memory for most Nimrod operators, and then trying to link it to policies which were not in place at the time, just to prove a personal point or points score.
Sorry Bob, you are wrong. The Fatal Accident and Sudden Death Act 1976 was in force but was bypassed, as it was for the next 35 years. The 'collusion' between the MoD and the Crown Office of Scotland deprive military personnel of their basic rights. I don't have to prove a point, I did that before the Justice Committee in 2015; didn't see you there.
You say that the Gulls were using a farmer's field in the 'undershoot', so it was a known problem. What action was taken to overcome that problem?
