Families of victims from the 1994 RAF Chinook helicopter crash are urging the High Court to allow a legal challenge against the Ministry of Defence regarding the aircraft's airworthiness. The crash, which occurred in Scotland, resulted in the deaths of all 29 individuals on board, and the families are seeking an independent review, citing ongoing failures by the MoD.
The Ministry of Defence argues that the claim is untimely and denies any breach of human rights. The case raises significant concerns about the safety of the helicopter, with previous investigations failing to address airworthiness issues adequately.
