Correct. The 3 contributory factors noted by the BoI had been front and centre in the Risk Register since 1996. Mitigation plans had been drawn up, approved and contracts let. They were cancelled by an official who had no authority to do so, and who then quietly employed two consultants to (separately, and unknown to each other) create a 2nd and 3rd Register which omitted these risks. This was approved by 2 Star (same as Chinook and Nimrod) and 4 Star. When revealed to investigators post-crash, the investigation was halted when they realised the ranks/grades involved. The BoI remains incomplete. The Inquest was misled.
I won't apologise for thread drift, as it's not. Work your way down from that 4 Star ruling and you will get to this current problem.
