In respect of the possible activity of UK-based anti-aircraft units, there are numerous mentions on record, including in the Irish Parliament and from journalists, to the effect that "it was well known in Territorial Army circles that they had had some involvement in this accident".

The UK government has always denied this, but (a) they would, wouldn't they, or (b) such denials might well be quite sincere and just in line with their own records.

Does anyone have contacts who might have definite knowledge in this regard to either confirm the probability of such involvement or alternatively to expose such rumours as mere bullsh!t, bravado or Chinese whispers?

Any info gratefully received - please PM.
