Did anyone go to Jail as a result of that mis-management?
The Public Accounts Committee, when describing it as the "gold standard cock-up" asked MoD to name the person with "management oversight" of Chinook HC Mk3.
MoD lied, saying this was impossible. A swift glance at the DPA (at the time) staff list told you it was precisely the same 2 Star who had the same responsibility for Nimrod RMPA/2000/MRA4. His name, and the evidence he had been forewarned about the reason for the failure of both programmes years in advance, was passed to PAC. They did nothing, which tells a story.
So, it's a toss up who deserves to spend longer in gaol!
