Chinook 'show flight' resulted in 29 deaths
A FORMER RAF test pilot has said the 1994 Chinook disaster helicopter was chosen for a "show flight" despite safety worries, according to reports.
RAF Chinook ZD576 hit a hillside in foggy conditions on the Mull of Kintyre, killing 29 people.
The incident was initially attributed to pilot error, a decision reversed in 2011.
