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?
Today we remember all the brave men and women who gave their lives to protect others - both in war and in peacetime, whether on active duty or not.
