Ill give you a clue - NO! Even if the Hunter was legally unairworthy, it was not the reason for the crash- not even peripherally!
Interestingly the NTSB (though not the AAIB) demarcates its analysis of findings after an accident into 3 categories:
Probable Cause/s
Contributory Factor/s
Other Factor/s
While that last category might appear to be a contradiction in terms (a factor that didn't contribute to the event/outcome), it's a useful repository for findings such as the state of the Hunter's fuel pump diaphragm.
