You say...."Spitfires and Hurricanes in WW2 were not fitted with foam/fire depressant, but we don't see those pilots widows trying to wring money out of the MoD"......
Well, Spitfires and Hurricanes in WW2 did have self sealing fuel tanks,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_fuel_tank
which was the equivalent of foam at the time (and is more than the RAF Nimrod/Herc/etc fleet had until very recently, and is now only going onto Hercs, but not MRA4) - once again your ignorance shines through. As has already been stated, none of the relatives are in this for the money, and for you to suggest so ............ frankly your suggestion leaves me speechless, and once again speaks volumes about you.
You give me the impression of someone who has the same attitude as RFC/RAF senior officers in WW1. That attitude being one of, ....'we won't give the pilots parachutes as they may bail out at the first sign of a fight'.... How many unneccesary deaths did that approach cause???
