I'm banged to rights, dervish, and no mistake! An unfortunate choice of words by me, and you were right to bring me to book (I've just seen what I did there!). The old age tag is certainly true too, though probably unlawful these days.
T&B, yes I too remember it as Pravda though I never subscribed. There was sometimes the odd copy though in the Crew Room, which usually confirmed the justice of its sobriquet.
The star chamber still clings to the ROs' finding, for what else can it do? If Gross Pilot negligence isn't to blame for 29 deaths then what is? As you say, dervish, David Hill has provided what a decent accident investigator could have done years ago if it were independent of the operator. Sadly it wasn't and still isn't, and the cover up continues as do the lies. Their Greatest Disgrace, indeed.
