Unless they take their blinkers off, you are quite right.
There is enough circumstantial evidence to warrant answers to straightforward questions that I have put forward regarding this flight. However, if a particular aspect is termed "OpSec", they get a warm feeling and shut up, leaving these guys hanging out to dry without exploring the (now) obvious.
The general public does not need proof without any doubt whatsoever as to what happened here, just on the balance of probabilities it looks like there has been a conspiracy of silence and that the obstacle to getting to the truth is the RAF as a body.
Certainly, the original pacifier of pilot error beyond any doubt whatsoever is no longer acceptable.
There was a chance through this forum for the circumstances to have been exposed gradually and gracefully; even if particular aspects had to be addressed with some discretion, the interested parties (eg the MOK group) could surely have done so behind closed doors with the MOD and at least somehow satisfied the public that such aspects were relevant or not; any initial omissions at the inquiries could have been accepted as oversights without the benefit of later analysis.
Without rigorous assessment of an event such as this, you could have a state thinking it could get away with murder – again.
