junglyAEO,
Thanks for that. The Navy were told by the AW fellows that virtually all those accidents were human error, the aircraft is actually quite blameless (at least that is what a high ranking Navy person close to the selection authorities told me).
Interestingly, the cause of the latest one at Culdrose is being withheld, it is said that the cause is known, but the report will wait until after the US selection.
