Well.... the excellent Flt Lt Ben Wallis (for it was he, in charge) has finally, 31 months later, been handed his well-deserved Air Force Cross by a fellow helo pilot, the Duke of Cambridge, aka Prince William.

But, Flt Lt Ben's undoubted courage and expertise aside, what bothers me is how a three-engined helo can suddenly run out of power. To say nothing of the fact that it was at night, and over forest. Anyone care to say what actually went wrong - or, better still, point me towards the Service Inquiry?
