The families of nine British servicemen killed when a Hercules plane was shot down in Iraq will not receive legal aid for a forthcoming inquest, according to reports.
The relatives of a 10th person - Australian airman Flight Lieutenant Paul Pardoel - who also died when the transport aircraft crashed near Baghdad in January 2005 will receive financial help from their Government, according to BBC Online.
Sarah Chapman, sister of engineer Sgt Robert O'Connor who died in the crash, condemned the decision not to fund legal representatives for the families.
