I would suggest that in the context of an AAIB report, the plain language version is for the benefit of Joe Public who might read it and has never even heard of Notam abbreviations/format. However, the exact notam is reported verbatim also, as that was what was actually published.
The advantages of coding are international standardisation, and the user not having to wade through an essay to determine the information. Can't see the problem, myself. The international aviation language of English is not a good argument!
