Hampshire family of Chinook helicopter crash victim call for judicial review
The Hampshire family of a 1994 Chinook helicopter crash victim are asking the public to support their calls
The Hampshire family of a man who died in the 1994 Chinook helicopter crash are calling for a judicial review into the incident, asking for 100,000 signatures on a petition.
A few of the families affected by the crash met with Ministers late last year and are awaiting a response.
Sue Angus, widow of Major Gary Sparks, is telling us why it's so important to them to have a judicial review.
She said: "We would be on the ladder to answers by then.
"This is the next step to apply for this, where a judge would have access to all the papers pertaining to the accident and hopefully really understand and get to the bottom of what happened."
Ms Angus has been campaigning alongside her daughters, Esme and Lucy Sparks, for the last 31 years.
The Chinook Justice Campaign have released a video including Ms Angus, alongside other families of victims, in a Valentine's Day film.
This is supporting their appeal for public support to reach 100,000 signatures on their petition.
Ms Angus told us her message to members of the public.
She said: "Please, please, please have a look at the Chinook Justice Campaign website and sign the petition.
"Any of us could have got on a helicopter not fit for purpose.
"Military friends who have served, you know, that could have been you.
"I would just say to anybody, please sign it and raise awareness.
"Talk to your friends about it and keep going."
