Just scan the Chinook posts for an hour or two and you'll get the flavour. Many of our finest died on the Mull that day and the injustice afforded the two pilots is heartbreaking.

Nurse,

The conspiracy theory you allude to is probably based on as much actual fact as the "gross negligence" charge against the crew.

Hysterical media reporting and Hollywood style distortion of the facts is usually to blame for ever wilder theories on everything from the moon landings to Diana's "murder" at the hands of shady spooks from MI6. Don't let this incident be tarnished by yet more urban myth. The lads deserve much more honesty from the Country.

It's a great pity that the truth is being manipulated here for what could be construed as either arse covering or commercial concerns at the expense of all the families still grieving, without the comfort of the Country's true recognition of their sacrifice.
