A new MOD tactic to settle before both inquest and SI publication? Now why would they do that I wonder?
I think you have that 100% arse about face. If the MoD have already admitted 100% liability, then the only direction this could have gone would have been against the family, that is, if the Coroner or SI mentions some degree of contributory negligence by Flt Lt Cunningham himself. It would be the family's lawyer who would advise them to accept.

Doesn't matter where the seat pin is or isn't if the scissor shackle has been over tightened.
If a member of the groundcrew had been the victim, he wouldn't have been strapped in and the scissor shackle would be irrelevant. And Flt Lt Cunningham might have been up for a Court Martial
