You are mistaken.
The loss of trident 'PI' resulted in the carraige of CVR's being mandated in the UK. 'PI' did not have a CVR, which is why although we know that the inadvertant retraction of the 'droops' was a primary cause of the accident, we do not know the exact circumstances of the retraction or what was going on in the cockpit at the time, let alone why someone activated the stick shake dump.
As for 'British' pilots refering to 'them' as droops - you'll find American trident pilots would have called them the same thing (had they flown a trident), as that is the term the aircrafter producer used...
