KG86 You state
In my mind, I believe that this was in all probability a CFIT accident
A quick Google search shows:
Idiom:
in all probability

Most probably; very likely.
and
in all probability - with considerable certainty; without much doubt; "He is probably out of the country"; "in all likelihood we are headed for war"
Some / most of us might even agree with you that there is a good chance that negligence was involved... however, we cannot be certain, and by the above definitions, seemingly nor can you?

'Absolutely no doubt whatsoever' was the standard of proof the RAF required.
seems somewhat incompatible with your post above?

I do not believe the campaigners are trying to show the Pilots as provably innocent? That would be as hard a standard as the effectively provably guilty the current findings are. All they are trying to show is that there is room for doubt, and some good evidence to back up that doubt.... or worse, now, reasons for the "cover up"

NoD
