Sorry submariner. What was excellent about the job the crew did?
They ditched a fully serviceable Lynx Mk8 (there is not a shed full of them....) Perhaps the ship wasn't within 10 miles of recovery position, perhaps they got a false warm fuzzy feeling second hand from a bag but at the end of the day it comes down to the crew of the Lynx to get back with enough gas (Minimum Landing Allowance) to account for the errors in the system.
Still big questions suround the issues of currency and REAL standard of work-up between ships and their flights. Ask anyone in the RN Lynx community how many hours they did in the last year - and also how many of those were embarked.
