A minister has expressed ‘grave concern’ that official records relating to a Chinook helicopter crash on the Mull of Kintyre 25 years ago could be destroyed.
The Rev Roddy McNidder said he feared the move would mean that the true cause of the tragedy may never been known.
The retired minister, who led Southend Church on the Mull of Kintyre at the time, spoke out after the Ministry of Defence confirmed that records closed in 1995 and 1996 ‘will be reviewed for release or alternative disposal this year’.
