If the RAF enquiry is in the standard format of an accident report, then it would not lay the blame with any one, it would instead list the various contributory factors which lead to the accident. This has been the case I believe ever since after the Mull of Kintyre accident report. This would tie in with the quote in the report:-
"A spokesman for the Ministry of Defence said it was not the role of a Board of Inquiry to apportion blame, and it marked the closure of an unfortunate incident for the RAF."
It would therefore seem that this is another piece of badly written reporting by the BBC, reopening wounds best left alone.
Edited because my grammar is appalling.
