"It may have had an effect but it is not an effect that could have caused the crash."
OK...now there's a definitive answer for you!
Did it have an effect or not?
If it did...what effect did it have?
If it did not cause the accident....what did?
Why was the RAF so quick to settle if there was a chance the Sea King did not cause the accident?
Granted that is a news report and not the accident report....but Geez Louise!
