Intruder, having dealt with the AAIB in the past they are not concerned with publicity or politics in the way the NTSB is; they will refrain from commenting until they have assessed the available evidence. I believe this is because they are a purely investigative agency, whereas the NTSB has a much wider remit.
As for some of the less informed posters, I found this thread easier to follow when the servers were jammed solid. Danny, can we slow them down again please?
