Fresh doubts have emerged over the decision to blame the pilots for the crash of a Chinook helicopter into the Mull of Kintyre in 1994, killing all 29 people on board.
New evidence shows the UK Ministry of Defence withheld potentially crucial information about computer software problems from Air Chief Marshal Sir William Wratten and Air Marshal Sir John Day who overruled the verdict of an RAF board of inquiry. The board found there was insufficient evidence to blame the pilots. The new evidence will be presented to Mr Geoff Hoon, the British Defence Secretary, by an all-party group campaigning to get the verdict quashed.
