ALL the contenders, PDR are modified civil airliners, and none of the original designers would have been principally concerned with low level performance. While it's true no nimrod suffered structural failure (other than resulting from a catastrophic fire!) given the tiny number in service versus the thousands of 737's and 320's that's not a big claim statistically and hardly justifies your emotive point about dead aircrew
