My reading of the AAIB report, coupled with the inquest evidence, reinforces my view that Paton was spooked by the Sea King while he was already having difficulty with the landing and possibly considering a go-around. There's a telling piece of evidence in the AAIB report about him behaving similarly during a landing previously, when ISTR he carried out a go-around.
I can't explain why the MoD settled so early, either.
