UK's defence ministry has suspended all air-to-air refuelling of its Nimrod spy planes after a fuel leak over Afghanistan forced an emergency landing, it said Friday.
Fresh fears have arisen about the safety of RAF Nimrod aircraft, following an incident in Afghanistan.
Former RAF navigator John Nichol says the Nimrod explosion was just one in a million flights. Speaking to Sky News' Anna Botting, he claims the board of enquiry will reveal the truth behind the incident and whether the RAF knew of the fuel leaks.
A father of a man killed in the Afghanistan explosion 13 months ago says the RAF were negligent. Speaking exclusively to Sky News' Geoff Meade, he claims that ignoring problems with the ageing Nimrod fleet led to the incident.
