I see generally what you mean , but in what way could the BEA and ADP be held in any way responsible for Concorde's airworthiness?
There was
an assertion earlier in the thread that DGAC/BEA were culpable because in the opinion of the poster they allowed an un-airworthy aircraft to continue to operate. There was also an assertion that ADP were culpable because they didn't sweep the runway before Concorde's takeoff.
Since when and in what jurisdictions did a post accident investigitave agency have powers to ground a type? They can make strong representations to the FAA, CAA, DGAC or whomsoever, but have no actual powers.
And you take all assertions in this thread as being gospel?
