Can we put this nonsense to bed?
The passengers were on their way to a nice long-weekend retreat (complete with golf clubs) for a retirement swan-song.
The pilots were doing a 'bus' run.
No passenger on board had a direct interest in any form of sneaky-beaky approach aid. Even if they did, what relevance would such an approach, in the circumstances presented, have to a bunch of people sat down the back of a noisy, smelly, uncomfortable Chinook? I don't recollect the accident report commenting on any of the spooks being sat in the jump seat, supposedly watching a magical CPLS approach on an aircraft that did not have a single navaid or comms box with a release to service; were Tapper and Cook really that reckless?
Walter, give up - you have taken too much bandwidth here. Most rationale people feel that the pilots may have got things wrong. However, the same people argue that the 'verdict' is unsound. Whether the actual cause was airworthiness, pilot error, state murder or little green men is not the key point. The POINT is that the MOD's findings did/do not have the necessary substance. Your argument, even if it had a single thread of credibility, undermines many more valid and convincing reasons why the MOD's stance is unjust.
Of course, like all such 'who-killed-JFK' or 'man-on-the-moon' type theories, you argument, however fantastical, always generates doubt. Such a tenuous stance is cancerous.
