Cazatou and I have different views entirely on the possible causes of this crash – the one thing we have in common is that we are, albeit in different areas from different perspectives, trying wherever possible to establish pertinent details – this seems to contrast with so many posters here that argue against anything being determinable. While individual items of data that could be termed significant can, on their own, be argued there is sufficient available data for correlation such that a specific scenario fitting all such data has a very high probability of being correct.
The common thread in Cazatou's 'pertinent details' (for example his assertion that not taking breakfast in the Officers' Mess is 'proof' that one has taken breakfast nowhere) appears to be a desperate attempt to find any reason (however tenuous) to divert attention from the lamentable airworthiness state of the aircraft, and therefore the responsibility of senior officers at MOD and their staffs. The correlation would imply that airworthiness was the actual cause (although it is unlikely that any positive proof of the actual cause will ever be established). His latest assertion that the ROs were 'obliged' to apportion blame has immediately been discredited by the quote from applicable QRs. What next, I wonder.
