Perhaps, one day, H-C will explain why this vital evidence was ignored.
Now you are getting to the very nub of the case, for in truth we both know that he will not. Perhaps even more important we both know that the MAA will not take on the MOD as the responsible authority that shaped this farrago as it cannot, no matter how much it declares itself to be independent. Even if that were not so the British desire not to make waves will decide that what is past is past, there's no point crying over spilt milk etc etc. Let's get real, the important thing from now on is to prevent another Mull, Iraq, or Afghanistan, etc, avoidable airworthiness related fatal military air accident. That can only start to happen if there be a truly independent MAA and MAAIB, separated from each other and from the MOD. No doubt there are insurmountable difficulties to doing that, but surmounted they must be, or the needless death toll will simply go on rising inexorably.
