Nimman, many thanks for that information.

Blame is put on the pilot, but I note that the report says "Some deficiencies in the regulations pertaining to Nimrod display and inadequate advice on stall warning speeds in the aircraft documentaion" (probably Release to Service). I have heard that the stall speed in the "documentaion" was set at 120 knts, the aircraft was at 122 knts, and shortly after the accident the stall speed was increased to 150 knts. The report says that aircraft was being operated below the recommended speed of 150 knts. Bit hard on the pilot if the 150 limit did not come into being until after the accident.

Perhaps that is why the BOI were sent back to adjust their report.
