The son of one of 29 servicemen who died in the 1994 RAF Chinook helicopter crash has said that a High Court judge’s ruling throwing out a bid to bring a legal claim against the Ministry of Defence (MoD) over the incident is an “absolute travesty of justice”.
Andy Tobias, whose father, Lieutenant Colonel John Tobias, died in the crash, said that families of those who died could take the case to the European Court of Human Rights following Tuesday’s ruling.
