The entire RAF Nimrod fleet should be grounded, a coroner has urged
as he concluded the inquest into the deaths of 14 servicemen in a crash.
The fleet has "never been airworthy", Andrew Walker said, recording
narrative verdicts on the deaths.
The men died when a reconnaissance plane exploded after air-to-air
refuelling in Afghanistan in 2006.
The BBC's Rob Watson said the ruling was "quite extraordinary" and would
be embarrassing for the government.
