Argyll and Bute’s MP has demanded that the government makes an urgent statement on what it intends to do with files relating to the 1994 Mull of Kintyre Chinook helicopter crash.
Brendan O’Hara spoke out in the House of Commons last Thursday after it was revealed that the Ministry of Defence (MOD) could be about to dispose of documents relating to the incident.
Despite a number of inquiries into the circumstances of the incident, the RAF’s worst peacetime loss of life, in which 29 people were killed, no definitive answer was found as to why the helicopter crashed into the hillside near Southend.
