EdSet100: Yes you are 100% correct about the SCP being disconnected at the time of the XV260 incident in Nov 2006. I had overlooked that fact. However, I am not sure that you are correct to say
safe to fly and conduct AAR
With all the restrictions and pre-flight test in place, we still have an incident like the one on 5th Nov 2007.
I do share your concerns that action to isolate the SCP immediately after the crash was too late for XV230. The question to be asked, is why was the system reactivated after the XV227 incident?
Perhaps you can suggest how fuel from No.1 blow-off, could migrate upwards to No.7 tank dry bay.
Finally, do you have a date for the QQ hazard report, as it does not appear to be mentioned in the BOI report. I note that in the BAE hazard report, power supplies are mentioned as possible ignition sourses.
Many thanks for the information supplied so far.
