Let's face it - someone f*&ked up. Whether you believe it to be the Lynx crew, the bridge/ops room of the 42, or indeed the bag. That said I'm sure we've all been there in different circumstances and lets hope we learn something from this.
But what of the future - having alighted safely on the water I understand it still wasn't an easy task egressing from the aircraft as it decided to head towards the ocean floor.
With todays modern plug and play technology and the ongoing search for new helos to replace the FF/DD flts the future focus must surely be for a crash worthy aircraft that has better floating characteristics.
Afterall an aircraft is merely a platfrom to bolt sensors and weapons to so does it matter what it looks like or what its called so long as we survive the unforeseen when it comes our way.
And........ box!!!
