But if it had been a commanded ejection then the seat would still have malfunctioned and still resulted in a fatal accident.
It would still have been an accident even if the seat had not malfunctioned and Flt Lt Cunningham had landed safely.
I wonder if you are confusing the cause of the accident with what caused it to become a fatal accident?


the disgraceful delaying of publication of the Report until after the Coroner's Inquest. Theirs was the only version of events readily available to the family and to the court.
Since the family and the coroner had copies of the report, what's the problem?
The coroner heard evidence from some witnesses and would have seen witness statements made by others. He could also require anyone else to attend if he thought they might be able to help his inquiry.
Whose 'version of events' do you say should have been available to the coroner and wasn't?

The MOD allowed the Coroner - who is independent - to complete his investigation and publish his findings before publishing the MAA report which you claim is biased anyway.
Why is that disgraceful?
