Mr Knight has spent more than 13 months investigating what caused his son's plane to crash.
He claimed he has internal RAF emails detailing unsafe aircraft.
Mr Knight, from Bridgwater, said: "The more I have dug, the deeper the conspiracy gets - essentially, I think the major failures have been down to communication problems.

Sometimes it's best if people don't make comment about things that they have absolutely NO KNOWLAGE ABOUT AT ALL!!
He clearly has no understanding about the lengthy and extencive processes involved in putting an aircraft in the sky, every single item put into an aircraft is logged and all work is double checked by a supervisor and check tested before the airframe is placed "On the Line".
There is no possible way that the problem occured before the aircraft took off as every inch of the airframe is checked between flights and if the problem was known it would been on the standard preflight and post flight checks.
Flight safety is of the UTMOST importance to everyone on a Air squadron, corners are NOT cut on this.
I heard the rest of his statement which outlined that "Item where in such short supply items where taken from another aircraft"
This happens EVERY day, on the Squadron i'm on we 9 airframes, 1 is in deep maintainence or "MU" at all times and if the active airframes develop a fault that reuires replacing NOW!! they take item of the "MU" airframe as it isn't going to be flying for at least a week.
That gives the Logs guys time to get the replacement on unit while not effecting Operational tasking.
