HC Deb 15 February 2000 vol 344 c478W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what evidence underlies his conclusion that RAF Chinook ZD 576 was travelling too low and too fast towards the Mull of Kintyre on 2 June 1994. [108750]

Mr. Spellar

In reaching their conclusions concerning the height and speed of the aircraft just prior to the accident the RAF Board of Inquiry considered data extracted from navigation equipment on the aircraft, the AAIB technical report and information and analysis provided by Boeing Helicopters and the Defence Research Agency, Bedford. Evidence from witness statements was also taken into account.
