You REALLY need to read the H-C Nimrod Review - even though it is readily discredited on here. It will open your eyes to what you are missing - and the whole point of this thread.
No mate.

If you think the Haddon Cave report is a revealing insight it is you that is suffering from a naive outlook.

There is very little "educational" value in the HC report. Just a great deal of self justifying horse manure.

Did HC "discover" the cause of the accident...nope it agreed with BOI.

Did HC attribute blame...not really, it pointed a few fingers, probably at the wrong people.

Did HC stick to it's remit..nope it waffled on about all manner of crap (Challenger et al)

Given that it wandered off down any old alleyway, did it therefore have the cojones to lift the stone and open the can of worms that it could have visa vi the Chinook accident etc etc? Dear me no...that would have caused way too much trouble.

Haddon Cave was, like just about every other public enquiry, a glorious waste of taxpayer's money. An exercise in public placification.

The changes to the airworthiness regime were well advance before Haddon Cave was even conceived.

In fairness, HC might have contributed to the downfall of the our maritime capability. But we would need to another public enquiry to verify that.

So I'll agree (again) with Tourist. Keep up the good work...soon enough we will have f*** a** with which to fight/defend with against any **** who fancies a go.
