I had the same problem while in the Falklands. A Chinook tragically crashed killing the crew and some groundcrew. A "bennie" heard the subsequent RT and before the fires had died down had called a tabloid in the UK and the TV picked up the story saying "a helicopter had crashed in the Falkland Islands". You can imagine what the families felt back in the UK as we had 60+ personnel. I spent a very frantic time ringing wives etc to let them know it was not their husband while the Chinook Boss back in the UK had the hard task of breaking the news to those involved. If the "bennie" had been found he/she would have had a very hard time!!
