Defence grounded the army's entire Taipan fleet after an MRH-90 suffered an engine failure and ditched during a training exercise
Possibly a engine failure due to a engine stagnation/spool bending at engine start. A known issue which calls for engine vent before engine starting.

Most probably no relation to this tragic accident.

RIP.
