For anybody unable to read the the document requested by Cazatou (K52), here is the relevant part:

6. RWTS has carefully monitored the progress of this trial and has put tremendous effort into ensuring that it progresses safety to provide timely CA [Controller Aircraft] Release recommendations. These recommendations with respect to FADEC have, to date, been ignored. Until RWTS is provided with a clear, unequivocal and realistic explanation of the faults described at references B through H, with corrective action, further Chinook HC2 flying shall not be authorized. A statement of 'No Fault Found' will no longer satisfy this requirement.

7. As a trials organisation, A&AEE has always been keenly aware of the risks associated with operating the Chinook HC2 and has tailored sortie profiles accordingly. Crews of the RAF have no such luxury and are likely at higher risk than A&AEE crews. As such, RWTS deem it imperative that, in the strongest possible terms, the RAF should be provided with a recommendation to cease Chinook HC2 operations until the conditions established in paragraph 6 are satisfied
Cazatou (K52)

You requested the information. What do you think of it??

But then of course you have read this information before. I quoted it 'verbatim' in post 3914 on the 28th Dec.

PS: Document dated 2 Jun 1994 - The day of the accident...
