'Rogue pilots' from US blamed for bombing UK tanks
L/Cpl Hull, Household Cavalry Regiment, died from multiple injuries inside his blazing Scimitar tank, despite efforts by colleagues to save him.
He was travelling in a column of light armoured vehicles near the southern city of Basra when it was reportedly attacked by a US A-10 "tankbuster" aircraft.
["British Forward Air Controller basically said they were rogue pilots that were working on their own," said Corporal Ashley Bell, who was also in the convoy.]
