British action on Flight EI-712

They did indicate missile and/or drone launches immediately before and after the weekend of the EI 712 crash. And they indicated one more thing as well: an odd overall appearance, suggesting to some that they were not records accumulating from day-to-day updates twenty-five years previously, but more like a ledger that had been written at one time by one person, instead of at separate times. The Ministry of Defence did not make originals of these logs available for handwriting analysis.

November 1998: The British Ambassador to Ireland met with relatives of the crash victims as a ‘humanitarian gesture’ but claimed on behalf of the British Government that she had no further information to offer them.

The British Government insist that they have handed over everything to the Irish Government, including the full air accident report which had been classified. On January 8^th, 1999, Andy Pike an official at the British Embassy in Dublin said ‘We have not found a scrap of evidence to suggest British involvement. We are able to say with confidence that we had no involvement'

1999:

January: The outgoing British Ambassador to Ireland agreed to Irish Air Accident Investigators reviewing evidence with their British counterparts following a meeting with the Minister for Public Enterprise on 12 January.
