Just on Sky News, no aircraft type, but speculation it was a Chinook
Fourteen British troops have died in an aircraft crash in Afghanistan.
The Taliban has claimed it shot down the aircraft - but British sources suggested the crash had been an accident.

Chinook with 0m AGl @ 3000m MSL = asking for problems.
Ever heard the US Army pilots complaining about the lack of performance of their AH-64s compared to the Northern Alliance Mi-24s?
Russian planes:
IL-76 (all standard length ones)
,
Tu-154 and Il-62
,
Tu-134
and
An-24RV
&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found

. I just scanned the link can someone tell me why, after radioing a 'technical fault' the crash was blamed on pilot error??

Failure to follow procedure and develop a molehill into a mountain could be one reason; however I have not heard this report. Where do you get that information, bearing in mind the aircraft crashed in the desert with no credible witnesses.

No, actually. However, what I have heard of, coincidentally, is you taking every chance you can to bash American aircraft in favor of Russian ones, even when it's pretty random and unrelated to the main topic. Strange, huh?

Guys stick to the topic, and could we get off this russian vs western aircraft crap. Especially in a completely unrelated topic. Its childish, and dis-respectful.
Right now the MR4 is in serious jeapordy, if it turns out the problem was engine related, its not such a huge deal, but if its structural as feared by members of the team, then it would confirm certain things.
Condolences to the familys of those lost in this accident.

I know mate. I am more pee'd off at Ivan's post in this case. No point to it what so ever. I get he's a fan of Russian built aircraft. This is just not the place to try and rub it in.

Obviously that radio station had already seen the accident investigation report then...
RIP chaps. Time will tell what happened...

Well, the Moray Firth incident sprung immediately to mind - and they were incredibly lucky that they were able to bring it down before the wing burnt through. One nut is all it takes...
