But as has been most eruditely put above; this (along with all the conspiracy theories) is all meaningless blah if you believe the root cause is a serviceability issue?
The vast majority on this thread (excepting the apologists for the despicable air rank officers who perpetrated the 'gross negligence' verdict contrary to the rules at the time) have no idea whether the root cause was a serviceability issue. They would be content if the cause was correctly, in view of the lack of evidence, ascribed to causes unknown.
However, the manifest injustice has slowly brought to light the gross negligence of those in MOD reponsible for the airworthiness system.
