but if there are no facts to prove the verdict, by the same logic, there are no facts to show that the crew was not responsible which must remain at least a possibility.
- absolutely, but the principle on which Miltary B of Is have been based is that blame has not been apportioned to dead people. Of course, I'm sure we all accept that it remains a possibility that there was negligence, but it cannot be proven. The revised finding may well reflect that and personally I would have no issue with that finding.

I think that any change in the finding would be incidental to the issues of 'law' to which you refer. I believe that such issues are running a separate course now to the cause of Brian and others and neither are dependent on each other.
