Hope that man will be cleared over helicopter crash
A North Norfolk man may be cleared of the blame for a helicopter crash that killed him and 28 other people.
In 1994, an RAF Chinook went down on the Mull of Kintyre and was Britain's worst peacetime helicopter diaster.
An official RAF inquiry said the aircraft was airworthy and found Flight Lieutenant Jonathan Tapper guilty of gross negligence.
But now a retired Scottish judge has agreed to conduct an independent review into the crash.
