AA, at the risk of dragging this on, the only way the people "in on the act" would keep their mouths shut this long would be if they were all culpable for what happened. That would be a strong incentive for silence.
In much the same way, one could argue, as those "in on the act" of falsifying an airworthiness trail etc could be seen to be culpable, and they have avoided spilling the beans for just as long...

Dalek, I totally agree, but despite a lot of obfuscation in the past, we know that it *was* fitted, without having been approved to be so. There must have been a reason, mustn't there? Or was it a standard fit item?
