The pilots were accused of gross negligence after 29 people died on the flight from Belfast to Inverness when it crashed on the Mull of Kintyre 17 years ago.
Campaigners fought for nearly two decades for Flt Lt Jonathan Tapper and Flt Lt Richard Cook to be cleared of blame.
Liam Fox, the defence secretary, ordered a review into the cause of the 1994 crash in September last year,
The independent report, chaired by Lord Philip, a retired judge, is understood to say that the pilots should not have been accused of gross negligence.
The Chinook, carrying 25 of Britain’s most senior intelligence experts and four special forces crew, crashed in thick fog on 2 June 1994, in what was the RAF’s worst peacetime accident.
Two RAF Air Marshals concluded that the pilots were guilty of gross negligence but their findings have been disputed by campaigners ever since.
Despite the long campaign by the pilots’ supporters, successive defence secretaries have refused to overturn the Marshals’ conclusions.
But now, after a nine-month inquiry, Lord Philip’s recommendations have been submitted to Mr Fox, who is due to make a statement to MPs on the findings next week.
Campaigners hope that the defence secretary will posthumously clear the pilots of blame.
In April this year, newly discovered Ministry of Defence documents cast doubt on the original explanation for the Chinook crash, suggesting that official concerns had been expressed over the airworthiness of the RAF’s fleet of Chinooks two years earlier.
It is understood the documents were never shown to the officer in charge of signing off the aircraft’s airworthiness.
------------------------------------
The above crash killed the most senior security experts that Britain had.
With the death of these men and the knowledge that they took with them to the grave allowed the treasonus destruction of Britain and the creation of the EU to begin.
The Heads of Britains Security Services were never allowed to travel together to protect them from such disasters, yet they were ALL allowed to travel together in this Chinook. Something that they would never normally do. So why did they ?
When you ask yourself how we have gotten ourselves into this position with a foreign enemy invited to live amongst us, the 25 men mentioned above would never have allowed this to happen.
When they went to their deaths it was hoped that we, as a nation and a people would follow suit. Tony Bliar and his TREASONUS CRONIES would never have been allowed to come to power under the guidance and direction of our Security Services led by the men who were more than probably murdered in the Mull of Kintyre air crash.
