Historical Context

On 2 June 1994 a Royal Air Force Chinook (Z D576) crashed into the Mull of Kintyre in dense fog, killing all 29 aboard, including senior MI5 and army intelligence officers. The disaster prompted multiple inquiries, a 2002 House of Lords report and revisions to RAF pilot training that formalised VFR-to-IFR transition procedures, shaping modern UK military aviation safety.
