Apologies if this is old- rehashed news

Families of nine UK personnel killed in a plane shot down in Iraq will get no legal aid at an inquest but those of an Australian airman will, it has emerged.

All 10 onboard the Wiltshire-based Hercules died when it was shot down in January 2005, in the biggest single UK loss of life in the Iraq conflict. The Australian government will pay for a lawyer for relatives of Flt Lt Paul Pardoel at the inquest in March.
