OK so how many HC2's have we lost? If it wasn't cleared for icing, by no means uncommon in the heli world, then you don't fly into icing, you don't have to. How many fadec run aways have cost us aircraft, have they made the machine un flyable or forced it into a rock? The technical investigation found evidence of controlled flight at impact and no failures. At impact the aircraft was at high speed in fog and flew into a headland, who was in charge of it? Why were they there in those conditions? To suggest that the aircraft was un controllable or had a mind of it's own is rissible. The problem is that reason has gone out of the window, more important it would seem is to run a vendetta against the two AM's and the RAF in general. Excuse the guy's of gross negligence if you wish, but ultimately they were in charge and they flew flat out into a rock.
