Revision as of 15:42, 2 September 2012

On 2 June 1994, an RAF Chinook helicopter crashed on the Mull of Kintyre in Western Scotland, during a flight from RAF Aldergrove outside Belfast.[1]

The passengers included senior figures from RUC Special Branch, MI5, the Army and the Northern Ireland Office.

The loss of the cream of Northern Ireland intelligence officers was a blow to the Conservative Government of the time, temporarily confounding the anti-IRA campaign.
The crash posed some embarrassing questions - such as why the UK's top anti-terrorist personnel flew together.[2]
