Chinook Crash Families Demand Truth | Belfast News

Families of the 1994 RAF Chinook crash victims are demanding Prime Minister Andy Burnham launch a fresh, independent investigation — 32 years after 29 military personnel died in the tragedy over the Mull of Kintyre. Despite a 2011 inquiry clearing the pilots, no definitive cause was found. The Chinook Justice Campaign, representing 25 families, seeks a review free from Ministry of Defence influence, but a High Court ruling blocked their legal challenge for being filed too late. Now, they’re eyeing the European Court of Human Rights — but prefer a direct appeal to Burnham, urging him to meet within his first 100 days. They want full access to crash and airworthiness records, citing Burnham’s past support for truth-seeking and the new Hillsborough Law, which mandates candor from public officials. Backed by former Defence Secretary Sir Liam Fox and the new Defence Secretary, the families are calling for accountability, respect, and finally — the truth.
