We are the families of those who died on June 2nd 1994 when an RAF Chinook crashed on the Mull of Kintyre. The Ministry of Defence has locked away the files for 100 years. We want access, answers, accountability & a public inquiry. What is being hidden?
In case you missed it, watch Darren Neilly on BBCBreakfast today on the #chinookjustice campaign’s hopes for the week ahead.
And why the Legacy Commission is not the answer to our families’ many questions.
