REPORT
Introduction and Summary of Conclusions
and Recommendations
The acceptance process and outcome for the
Chinook Mk2 were flawed
Given the burden of proof required, the finding
of the RAF Board of Inquiry on the cause of the Chinook ZD-576
crash is not justified by the available evidence
The process of RAF Boards of Inquiry is open
to criticism and should be changed
