Mr Smith,
welcome to the world of the Chinook crash.

Pulse1 has really hit the nail on the head. The fact of the matter is that no-one knows why the Chinook hit the Mull.

It may well have been negligence (pilot error is a different conclusion in military terms), but due to the fact that the burden of proof at the time of the crash was 'Absolutely no doubt whatsoever' the current verdict is unsustainable.

That is the whole point of the campaign. Again, as Pulse1 says, I would encourage you to read as much as you can of the current information (or visit the website).

With regards conspiracy theories, I've heard them all, including this one. Like the Reviewing Officer's findings, none are sustainable against known evidence.

Might even write a book meself!!

Perhaps the main thread would be better to continue this discussion.

Kind regards,
Brian
