Event: Board of Inquiry Media Reports

In an unprecedented move, Secretary of State for Defence, Des Browne, apologised to the families of the servicemen in the House of Commons.

Paying tribute to the servicemen who were killed, in what the Board of Inquiry called "an unsurvivable crash", he said their families should be very proud of their bravery.

"The Board of Inquiry established the most probable cause of the fire and subsequent loss of XV230, and in doing so identified failings for which the Ministry of Defence must take responsibility," he said.

"On behalf of the MoD and the Royal Air Force, I would like to apologise to the House of Commons, and most of all to those who lost their lives, and to their families. I am sorry."
