Radar recording 'shows helicopter hit hillside due to navigation error'
By: By OWEN BOWCOTT
RECORDINGS of military radar tracking the RAF helicopter which crashed on the Mull of Kintyre last month show it flew straight into the hillside without altering course, writes Owen Bowcott .
The flight path, revealed by air traffic control sources yesterday,
reinforces suspicions that the accident was caused by a navigational error.
Twenty-nine people, including senior security staff from Northern Ireland, died on June 2 when the RAF Chinook exploded on hitting a headland on Kintyre's southern tip, reported to have been shrouded in fog.
A controller who had seen the recordings, and requested his identity not be revealed, said: 'The Chinook looks like it went more or less straight into the hillside. There was no distress signal. It all points toward some sort of navigational error. The pilot must have misjudged his position. He only needed to be half a mile to one side.'
