Another Coroner sticks it to the MOD!
BBC NEWS | UK | Coroner attacks minefield rescue
"Very difficult reading" for the MOD.
If they can find anybody who can read maybe.
From the report:
• A lack of availability in Afghanistan of appropriate UK helicopters fitted with a winch
• The downwash from the Chinook helicopter sent to the minefield
• The administrative delay in sending a suitable helicopter.
Mr Walker also criticised a lack of batteries for radios at observation posts, which hampered the ability to communicate, as well as a failure to provide meaningful information to soldiers about the threat of mines in the area.
Absolutely
incredible.
