Military aviation body set up after fatal Nimrod crash
An independent military aviation authority is to be set up after the fatal RAF Nimrod crash in Afghanistan, the defence secretary has said.
The organisation will begin regulating military aviation activities from next April, Bob Ainsworth announced.
The move comes after a critical report into the Nimrod crash, in which 14 men from RAF Kinloss in Moray died in 2006.
Two senior air force officers named in the report are being investigated by RAF police, Mr Ainsworth added.
An inquiry into the crash of the Nimrod three years ago found that it was caused by a fuel leak and was "preventable".
