The deaths of 10 military personnel in an air crash in Iraq could have been prevented if a fuel safety device had been fitted to their British plane, it was reported.
The crash happened on January 30, 2005, when the Hercules was hit by ground-to-air fire which caused an explosion in the right-hand wing fuel tank.
It was was the single biggest loss of British life in Iraq since military action began in 2003.
But according to the BBC, documents show that RAF pilots had requested explosive-suppressant

foam devices be fitted to Hercules fuel tanks two years before the attack.
A board of inquiry said the crash was not survivable but admitted that the lack of a fuel tank safety system could have contributed to the crash.
The Ministry of Defence said none of its planes in Iraq or Afghanistan had the foam, but some would be fitted soon.
Campaigners say they will sue ministers for corporate manslaughter if any more lives are lost.
The foam has been in use in US Hercules aircraft since the Vietnam war.
An internal RAF document obtained by BBC Radio 4's Today programme suggested that requests for the explosive-suppressant foam were being discussed at least as early as 2002.
The document read: "Urgent operational requests for all Hercules aircraft should continue to be actively pursued. Specifically, all aircraft should be fitted with fire suppressants in fuel tanks."
