Thanks. I have just checked back to the report in question. It has not been amended as far as I can tell and still gives the cause for the accident that is contrary to the evidence given by the AAIB investigator who gave evidence to the Coroner's Court. As I mentioned, the disparity almost certainly didn't change the jury's verdict, but it does mean that anyone reading that report today would still be mislead as to the accident cause. The issue in question was whether witness marks from a control cable were indicative of the cause, or whether they were incidental and caused by airframe damage during the break up of the aircraft. The report states they are incidental, the investigators evidence in court stated they were causal.
