MoD inconsistent
In the latter case, even though compensation has been paid to the families of all who died, even to those of the crew who were initially held responsible, the MoD has not admitted responsibility, nor have any recommendations been issued.
In fact, despite accepting Lord Philip’s flawed report and appearing to exonerate the pilots, the accident remains officially unexplained and (perhaps) inexplicable.
But how can pilot error be ruled out if the cause of the accident is unknown? Also, why does the MoD wash its hands of this case and not others?
