The British Ministry of Defence has denied new allegations of a cover-up over the 1994 Mull of Kintyre helicopter crash in Scotland in which 25 of the North's top intelligence experts died. There has been continuing controversy about the reliability of the computerised control systems of the ill-fated RAF Chinook helicopter which ploughed into the Mull of Kintyre, killing all on board.
The magazine Computer Weekly and Channel 4 News last night made renewed claims of a "cover-up" and more argument about a legal row between the MoD, Boeing, and another firm which followed damage caused to an RAF Chinook being tested in the United States in 1989.
