The Chinook Justice Campaign
@chinookjustice.bsky.social
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?
After 18 months of asking, we've finally been granted a meeting with ministers. Like buses, not 1, not 2 but 3 MoD ministers have come along at once, plus the Victims Minister.

Our families are looking forward to finally being heard by
@DefenceHQ
next month.

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.

Thank you to all the MPs who raised our case in the @houseofcommons.parliament.uk last night during the #hillsboroughbill debate and to @sorchaeastwood.bsky.social
who said our case should be the "test case" for the government's commitment to duty of candour on public bodies. #chinookjustice

Thanks to MP Jim Allister
for raising our case in the #hillsboroughbill debate.

@primeministeruk.bsky.social
says it will apply in all cases where candour is needed. Public inquiry and release the files then PM?? #chinookjustice

A very happy 96th birthday to our most senior campaigner - John Dockerty, whose son Chris was killed in the 1994 crash. Still fighting for answers and supporting our campaign to get justice and the truth about his son's death - while blowing out his candles. #chinookjustice

Thanks to @adrianramsay.bsky.social for raising our case in the @houseofcommons.parliament.uk and supporting our demands for a meeting with ministers - which have been repeatedly refused. #chinookjustice

Thanks to the Newtonards Chronicle for their front page splash this week detailing the support we have from the Chief Constable of Police Service Northern Ireland, for truth and transparency on the 1994 crash which killed our loved ones on an unairworthy aircraft.

For the 2nd time in as many days, a government minister has described our case as "serious" - also describing the "devastating" impact on our families still searching for the truth. Progress? or coincidence?

Thanks to @tessamunt.bsky.social for her support. #chinookjustice

We received an apology from @defencehq.bsky.social
and John Healey's office after being turned away from the MoD last week, unable to deliver our letter to the Def Sec.

We wait to find out when we can re-deliver it - and have again requested a face-to-face meeting.

A momentous day and massive congrats to the #Hillsborough families and campaign. We firmly hope that the MoD will be covered by the legal duty of candour on public bodies. We have issued this statement
September 16, 2025 at 6:38 AM
The defence minister Alistair Carns has offered to brief MPs in private on our case. He’s refused to meet us. We think that has all the hallmarks of a dodgy briefing against us. Here’s our letter in full: #chinookjustice

Cover ups by the state - they are "completely endemic" in our system, says @sorchaeastwood.bsky.social who highlights the trauma and smears faced by the 29 families affected by the cover up over the Chinook crash since 1994.

It's why we need a legal #dutyofcandour #hillsboroughlawnow

We look forward to seeing what nonsense the Ministry of Deceit comes out with today - thanks to @the-independent.com for this piece on Liam Fox's support for our families. #chinookjustice

We are so sad to learn of the death of David Soudan snr, whose funeral is being held today, and whose family manage the Carskiey estate on which ZD576 crashed on June 2nd 1994.

He & his family were a great comfort and support to our families. Our thoughts are with his family today.
