» Tuesday, February 1, 2005Hercules Crash update
Asked if there was any further news regarding the Hercules crash, and also if there was a flight data recorder on board, the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) said he did not have any further updates. The MOD hoped to confirm details of those presumed dead at 1200 today, but apart from that, the rest of the information was down to the Accident Investigator who was involved with the crash. The PMOS also explained that the reason why this crash was proving difficult was because the location where the crash occurred was not in our area of control, and was considered a hostile environment, so extra care had to be taken. Asked if the footage of a crashed plane that had been aired was considered the actual plane involved, the PMOS said again it had to be left to the crash investigator. We were in a position like everyone else, and were waiting for the report to come out. Briefing took place at 11:00 | Search for related news Original PMOS briefings are © Crown Copyright.
