Secondly, on 1 September 1994 a Tornado (with a full ADR and CVR fit) crashed into the ground killing both pilot and navigator. The BoI stated that they “could determine exactly what had occurred in the cockpit." The pilot appeared to have deliberately flown the aircraft into the ground. The Board was satisfied that the final control inputs led directly to the loss of the aircraft." Despite there being full evidence available from the ADR and CVR, Higher Authority disputed the BoI’s findings and decided that any "consideration of Human Failings" would serve no useful purpose”. The cause of the accident was finally allocated as: Not Positively Determined - No findings of negligence.
But the cause was well-known throughout the RAF, if I recall correctly..... Perhaps when the FOI comes in, the full CVR and ADR transcripts will be released?
