SPHLC, I should have thought that many more roads lead to the UK Military Airworthiness Authority. It is a typical of the many systemic failures that litter the UK Military Aviation scene that it never flagged up the absence of a Safety Case for a system, and a critical Escape System at that, that had been in service since the 70s.
The fact that authority is now vested in the recently formed Military Aviation Authority, as against its parent MOD in which it was vested previously, is immaterial. It failed to ensure the airworthiness of this system, hence the airworthiness of this aircraft, which was a major contributor to this accident. Yet its DG congratulates the panel for an SI that failed to mention that. Something is rotten here in the State of Denmark, and it's not rotting Giraffe!
