From: Behind a dusty desk, and in some really hot, dusty, wet and cold places subject to who is paying the bill. But mostly Gods own land.
If an aircraft accident involves a fatality then the coroner has jurisdiction, if the accident doesn't then "technically" the police do.

The Police, normally, hand it over to the respective investigative authority ASAP; if Civil then the AAIB, military, then either the RAF/NAVY/ARMY investigation team.

All accident reports in the UK, civilian and military are given to the Secretary of State in there first publishing.

The military will undoubtedly form a board of inquiry, which unlike an accident investigation team, civil or otherwise can attribute blame.
