Updated on 15 January 2008

A new report into the RAF Chinook helicopter crash on the Mull of Kintyre 14 years ago is to be presented to Defence Secretary Des Browne.

Campaigners from the Mull of Kintyre Group believe they have uncovered new evidence challenging the findings of an RAF Board of Inquiry which blamed "gross negligence" by the pilots.

All 29 people on board the helicopter - including 25 leading figures involved in Northern Ireland security - were killed when it crashed into the Scottish island in bad weather on June 2 1994.
