It was the worst single loss of life by Britain’s Royal Air Force since the Second World War. On the evening that the pilots flew ZD576 into the fog at the shoreline of the Mull, the instrument settings show that they were preparing for landing. Indeed, some traditional republicans complain that the movement under the political wing of Sinn Fein has “sold out” on its principles. He has also pieced together sensitive information obtained from various RAF sources [1]. [1] For further technical information on the 1994 Chinook crash, readers may contact Walter Kennedy directly at [2] Chinook Disaster: Did Britain Sacrifice Counterinsurgency Top Brass to Defeat Irish Republicans? Also, as Kennedy notes about the personnel onboard the Chinook: “These men dedicated their lives to fighting the IRA. Performances include 23 June 1990 in The following year, on 20 June 2010 McCartney performed "Mull of Kintyre" at The refrain of the song was also played at the funeral of Linda McCartney in June of 1998.Co-writer Denny Laine re-recorded "Mull of Kintyre" for his 1996 album Their focus was on narrow legalistic issues, such as: ‘Was it appropriate or not to ascribe gross negligence to the dead crew?’. As a result, there was an abiding suspicion among republicans of British bad faith. When technical questions were put, they were easily obfuscated. The official account is demonstrably not true in light of the flight and instrument data. These proxy death squads were armed and instructed by British Intelligence and are believed to have carried out over 300 murders of republicans and ordinary Catholics during the course of the 1969-1994 conflict – nearly 10 per cent of the total number of dead. This underlines that the conditions were not inordinately hazardous. They were not flying negligently.” Comments Kennedy: “The most obvious scenario is that the helicopter crew were approaching that known landing spot at waypoint A on the Mull; it had a safe exit, or “wave-off” option, as there was plenty of room at the elevation of that spot for a moderate turn around the lighthouse back out to sea – it was the optimum spot to aim for, given the turning radii available to a Chinook at high speed, for a turn around the lighthouse. Fog and poor visibility are features to be sure, but the weather is predictable. “If you work through the flight data each aspect is like a jigsaw puzzle and from the picture that it forms it is obvious that the official story is false. It would therefore take a serious token from the British to assure the IRA that this time around “the war really was over”. Note the official version claims that the pilots were attempting an accelerated climb over the Mull, which could not be the case if the power settings were matched at intermediate level. The official conclusion was that the pilots had elected to fly over the Mull rather than turn away from it, and that they had set up a wrong rate of climb.
The power settings were matched at intermediate level, consistent with the helicopter coasting horizontally towards the LZ and fully under control of the crew. I predicted the use of the CPLS from their movements at the Mull. On the evening of 2 June 1994, an RAF Chinook military helicopter slammed into a mountainside on the Mull of Kintyre in thick fog, killing all 29 onboard. Not only the last Lord Philip review but all other inquiries failed to make use of this data – indeed, many factors were severally rubbished, quite wrongly, when not only did they make sense on their own but together correlated into a clear picture. They were not going to give up on their missions easily. They had been referring to the navigation computer up until that right turn; they were not contravening Visual Flying Regulations, as alleged by the official inquiries. Apart from this particular piece of bad airmanship, the public has to wonder how such an experienced crew ended up hitting what in reality was an isolated low hill? Contrary to their impressive experience and training, the RAF claims that rather than slowing down and climbing at a maximum rate, or turning back out to sea, the pilots inexplicably advanced at an inappropriate rate of climb towards the highest ground in the vicinity – and this inexplicable action on their part was solely the cause of the crash.
That has now been confirmed to me by RAF sources.
What he has found is stunning.
