Helicopter decision has let my son down, says father
His son Capt Mick Baker, 28, was one of four members of the Air Corps who lost their lives when their Dauphin helicopter crashed near Tramore, Co Waterford.
“I will never forget the shock and the pain of that day. I was staying in Dublin in my other son’s house when I was woken up around 4.30am,” he said. “There were people from the Air Corps downstairs and they said the helicopter was missing from the radar. I knew immediately what was wrong.”
