The families of people killed in the 1994 Chinook helicopter disaster have criticised the Ministry of Defence’s description of the crash as a “tragic accident” as “dishonest, deceitful and disingenuous”.
RAF Chinook ZD576 was carrying 25 British intelligence personnel from RAF Aldergrove in Northern Ireland to a conference at Fort George near Inverness when it crashed in foggy weather on June 2 1994 on the Mull of Kintyre, Scotland.
