Scores of cancer-stricken RAF veterans who were exposed to a “toxic soup” of chemicals at Scots airbases are being denied justice, it was claimed yesterday.
A former Scots Guard has compiled a harrowing list of more than 100 specialist engineers who fell seriously ill after being exposed to potent solvents in their work with the RAF in the 80s and 90s – about half of them having worked at bases in Lossiemouth, Leuchars and Kinloss.
And as one widow sees her late husband’s quest for compensation thrown out due to a lack of evidence, Les Mason has demanded a public inquiry into the “Victorian” conditions veterans worked under.
