Clearly this case was about the money.
Clearly, and as reiterated by Haddon-Cave, it was about money - to MoD. It was they who knowingly suborned the airworthiness system to "save" money.

Given MoD have been in denial for 4 years on Nimrod XV230, 23 years since the systemic nature of the problem was first notified (11th January 1987 to AMSO) and 20 years since specifically notified on Nimrod (12th September 1990 to AMSO), then I respectfully submit there are demonstrably very guilty people out there who are far more deserving of your ire.

Tapper's Dad et al stood up to be counted whereas others did not, merely emerging from the shadows to have an occasional potshot. A bit like senior staffs in MoD in fact.
