Clutha probe hears of fuel kit problems

-

OPERATORS of the Clutha tragedy helicopter were becoming increasing­ly worried about fuel indicator problems before the crash, a fatal accident inquiry heard yesterday.

Ten people died when the police copter crashed into the Glasgow pub on November 29, 2013.

Martin Forster, Avionics Manager at Babcock, said the firm had issues with fuel probes and sent them to Airbus for replacemen­ts.

Forster said: “The fuel probe replacemen­ts and problems with the fuel system were within the areas of the aircraft that we were concerned about.”

The inquiry continues.
