Is this thread for real? Please tell me that you're all in a conspiracy to astonish us all. Mike, I have never seen such ill-informed ranting (even here on PPRuNe!). Just think, every light aircraft that overflies your town at medium level, every airliner that overflies your town at high level and every rafat a/c that passes by has a chance of falling on your house - because that's what aircraft keep doing.
Although, I'm sure you're right, civilian aircraft are designed to crash much less often than military ones. I'm sure another FOI request will reveal to you the design requirements for the Hawk which was: must crash slightly more often than airliners.
I'm going back to my parallel universe now. Bye.
