Thought I'd try and find the words from the horse's mouth. Eventually, after much unsuccessful and frustrating searching of MoD/RAF sites, found this, lurking in 'Equipment and Logistics News'
Ministry of Defence | Defence News | Equipment and Logistics | Nimrods requiring safety modifications to temporarily cease flying
Noted that neither the coroner nor the inquest was mentioned.
Also, in the Minister for the Armed Forces' statement, he says
....in order that the risks involved in operating the aircraft remain tolerable and as low as reasonably practicable,.....
I wasn't aware the the risks had become ALARP - they were admitted as not being so at the inquest. Are we to take it that they now are, despite the fact that the modifications have not been completed?
Or have I missed something?
Edited to say - obviously I did miss DV's observation of ALARP being declared so soon after the inquest. Sorry.
