Inquiry

Tip,

One item which is worthy of note is the statement regarding the Chinook. It was stated that the crew were experienced and in fact were under training, with the mission commander not in the front. He did show face at the inquiry and was unable to show the court the route they had taken on the day, on a OS map. in the AAIB report the route taken is stated quite definately.

Further evidence by witnesses on the ground stated that the weather was fine. This was given to AAIB who chose not to use it in the report. It was also stated that there were no "Fast Jets" in the vicinity of the accident which was countered by witnesses.

There is more
