What strikes me as a bit strange about this 'news' is that, in a seven paragraph report, the MoD chooses to put the fact that
The Board of Inquiry concluded that, even if the aircraft had been fitted with Explosion Suppressant Foam (ESF), it would not have prevented its loss. This is because ESF does not prevent leaks when the fuel tanks are punctured.
in the second para after the initial summary, and before the rest of the findings.

Methinks they do protest rather a lot.
