Jacko,
Hear what you say and I recollect an earlier post noting an MOD Web Site as stating a solution was identified. I suspect it has been for some time but someone has to fund the solution.
However, as one who has more than once experienced in a military aircraft a happening that could not/should not happen, I tend to regard such statements with some scepticism, particularly when software is involved.
As to Risk Assessments - bit like statistics, you can prove anything.
