CHC Helicopter in Mid Air Emergency After Lightning Strike Knocks out Electrical Systems - Oil and Gas News (http://www.oilandgaspeople.com/news/7385/chc-helicopter-in-mid-air-emergency-after-lightning-strike-knocks-out-electrical-systems/)

Anyone got any more info on this reported three days ago?
Was it recent or old news?

The article states that it happened on Friday 19th Feb.

Agreed. But sometimes these events are reported later on websites suggesting its a recent event but maybe not so?
If it did not happen on the 19th of February, then when? I just thought it was something I would have expected to be mentioned on PPRune.
Would it be an event when triggered lightning was predicted? Would the aircraft be in need of a total strip down etc?
I would be very interested to know what $hell actually said to the passengers in the statement they were to give on the Monday following the incident.
