Chinook Helicopters: Accidents
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 19 May 2026 to Question 111, on what date, and at whose instruction, were any of the other documents relating to the Chinook ZD576 first closed to the public.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) have conducted an extensive search of The National Archive’s (TNA) search engine, Discovery, and have been unable to locate any further MOD records relating to Chinook ZD576 being listed as closed to the public.
The MOD can confirm there are records that reference Chinook ZD576 which have been transferred to TNA, closed to the public, by other Government Departments.
Our thoughts and sympathies remain with the families, friends, and colleagues of all those who died in the Mull of Kintyre crash.
