The Ministry of Defence initially told the soldier's family the recording did not exist, then said they could not release it because the US would not de-classify it.
(RG) Says, Nothing new there then the MOD telling lies. Unfortunately these things do happen and will happen again. I do not recall a British pilot ever attacking and American or coalition target, why because our pilots are better trained, you just have to listen to the cockpit recording of the pilots conversation to understand this. There is technology available to prevent this type of thing happening but once again Governments will not spend the money to install these systems. I am sure those A10 pilots will live with this tragedy to their dying days. If you have any doubts do not engage. The unfortunate aspect to this is I doubt if the Americans will ever release any other classified information to the UK, but the tragedy is the needless death of Matty Hull . Read comments Here
