Families of victims of the 1994 RAF Chinook disaster on the Mull of Kintyre are going to court in a bid to force the UK Government to order a public inquiry.
Their judicial review bid highlights issues which it is claimed have been ‘covered up and sealed away’.
It comes after the Mail revealed last month that former Defence Secretary Sir Liam Fox is carrying out his own investigation into the tragedy after voicing ‘deep concerns’ about the crash.
He intervened as the families accused the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of ‘gaslighting’ them by refusing to answer unresolved questions.
Now lawyers have submitted a High Court judicial review application over the government’s failure to order a public inquiry and its decision to seal the files on the tragedy for 100 years.
