For example who fitted that bolt that came loose, who closed the panel that opened in flight, who inspected the part that failed or even who authorised the flight.
Worry not, you're protected by law. Not only in the military, but in every form of employment in the UK. Your employers are responsible for your actions...including your mistakes, your incompetence, your negligence, whatever.
The only way an employee can be held responsible is if they committed their error whilst engaged in some form of criminal activity.
All this is a good thing BTW, because it means the buck stops with the right people, ie people that can pay (because they will have insurance) when it comes to settling compensation claims.
Edited...just noticed where you are...kinda works differently there
