As has already been said, it is strange that the medical condition point is not further developed in the report. Whether it did or did not contribute to the accident we will never know, but we do know that the Pilots RAF career was brought to a halt by it, we do know that he did not have the recommended medical intervention to address the condition, and we do know that he didnt declare it subsequently.
It simply beggars belief that at no point in the various applications and medicals which he would have undertaken in the intervening period was he ever asked to declare whether there was any other relevant factor or pre existing condition. You cant even hire a car at the airport without confirming that you have no medical condition which might affect your ability to drive! Were the processes so deficient that he was never asked, or is there a parallel with the Glasgow bin lorry to be drawn.....

Reason: grammar!
