Desert Dingo,
The Privy Council were not asked to give any opinion on the cause of the crash.
They were asked to rule on the question on the lack of natural justice displayed by Mahon in his findings.
That is unchallenged.
That is why it is unchallenged, it was not their brief to offer any opinion as to the cause.

From Holmes
This is all fairly well-canvassed, I know. But what happened in the trail of it all was a breathtaking, scandalous, concerted process of cover-ups, coercions, obfuscations and simple bloody lies by the Government, the air accident inspectorate, Civil Aviation and, sorry to say it but it can't be avoided, the most senior people in the state-owned airline.
That this completely unqualified talking head, low hour private pilot, with his aviation accident record, can come up with such scandalous statements on the findings of many highly qualified aviators is unbelievable. Holmes in agreement with Mahon's findings, gives them less credence than they ever had.
