In addition there were two passengers transitting
to Balad: Squadron Leader Patrick Marshall (Headquarters Strike
Command ) and Lance Corporal Steven Jones (Royal Signals)
The whole of RAF Lyneham feels this loss intensely and our
thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies are with the families,
friends and colleagues of those involved. The crew, support
personnel and passengers on board were playing a vital role
in helping to deliver democracy to the Iraqi people. They
will be sorely missed.
