BBF, The difference between this accident and a similar one that might befall you is that yours would be in an aircraft subject to a competent Airworthiness Authority and could therefore be reasonably assumed to be:
1. Of an airworthy aircraft type at the time and,
2. Be fitted with a Flight Recorder, thus greatly assisting the determination of the cause of the accident.
With this accident no such assumptions can be made as no such Airworthiness Authority presided.
As has been said above, despite these shortcomings and the inability of the BoI to determine the cause, Messrs Wratten and Day were still able to come to their infamous finding. You seem to share their decisive ability to see the truth that evades all others. Have you ever considered a career as a Senior RAF Officer? You would seem eminently well qualified.
