A coroner has recorded a narrative conclusion at the inquest into the death of five British servicemen who died when a Lynx helicopter crashed in Afghanistan on 26 April 2014.
A MOD spokesperson said:
Our thoughts remain with the families of those who lost their lives in this tragic accident - Captain Thomas Clarke, Flight Lieutenant Rakesh Chauhan, Warrant Officer Class 2 Spencer Faulkner, Corporal James Walters and Lance Corporal Oliver Thomas.
This incident was subject to a thorough Service Inquiry and steps have since been taken to minimise the risk of it happening again. We will now study the coroner’s findings carefully to identify any further lessons that may be learnt.
