'Now we expect answers' - Chinook crash families

The Gazette

|

December 15, 2025

THE son of a serviceman killed in the 1994 Mull of Kintyre Chinook crash has said the families of the victims "expect answers" ahead of a historic first meeting with ministers.

All 29 military and intelligence personnel on board RAF Chinook ZD576 were killed when the aircraft crashed in foggy weather while flying from RAF Aldergrove in Northern Ireland to Fort George near Inverness on June 2, 1994.

The bereaved families today published 225 new questions about the circumstances leading up to the crash, including how and why the "unairworthy" aircraft was chosen for the journey and why "key technical documents" were withheld from multiple inquiries.
