Which is exactly what I posted, the Hunter was immediately grounded because no one knew if the jet was the cause, no one knew either if the lorry was at fault either, but it wasn't.
Not really. What you wrote was a request for someone to explain:

the continuing ban and financial implications on the owners of Hunter aircraft, whose assets are now virtually worthless, even though that wasn't the primary cause of the accident and may have complied with all the legislation and requirements in place. Dustbin lorries were not removed from instant service across the UK until the inquiry was concluded, why was the Hunter?
...thereby suggesting that the different response to vintage jet crash and bin lorry crash is unfair, and that the financial loss to Hunter owners provides an argument to keep the Hunters flying until an aircraft fault is proven to have caused the crash. This is obviously daft.
