  • The 190th Fighter Squadron, Blues and Royals friendly fire incident was a "friendly fire" incident involving two United States Air Force (USAF) Air National Guard 190th Fighter Squadron attack aircraft and vehicles from the United Kingdom's D Squadron, The Blues and Royals of the Household Cavalry and took place on March 28, 2003 during the invasion of Iraq by armed forces of the United States and United Kingdom. In the incident, the two USAF A-10s fired on and destroyed two Blues and Royals armored vehicles, killing one and injuring five British soldiers. The operation was known as Operation Telic in the UK and Operation Iraqi Freedom in the US. Whilst not the only fratricide incident during Operation Telic, the circumstances around the inquest into the death of British Lance-Corporal of Horse Matty Hull led to some media controversy. This was related to the release of video evidence from the attacking aircraft and perceived levels of cooperation by government agencies of both the United States and United Kingdom with the British inquest into the incident.
