I totally agreed with you. The GFS crew should learn from the crew of Skyshuttle and Heliservices of how to fly in a controlled airspace. Very poor airmanship indeed!
What on earth have comments like that have to do with this incident?

Looks like a text book ditching to me. Thankfully the crew safely jettisoned the firebucket and minimised further loss or damage.

Is this the second time that same bucket has gone to the bottom of that reservoir I wonder?

btw, for the less informed; GFS has its foundations in the British Military crewfolk who were there at its inception.

Get turned down as well eh?

Perhaps they could learn a thing or two from you '20 minuters'. Must be a difficult job flying between HK and Macau.
So does the organisation here disrespectfully know here as "20 minuters". Perhaps those affected by the green eyed monster have forgotten the airmanship and skill shown by the crew of the A139 that lost its tail rotor and also successfully ditched not too long back.
