Larry - sadly not quite correct...... One 234 owned in the 80's by British Airways Helicopters (later British International Helicopters) suffered an inflight breakup near to the Shetland Islands airport of Sumburgh. Of the 40+ on board, only the Captain and one passenger survived, effectively putting an end to the type's career on the North Sea. Great shame, as it should have been an excellent offshore helicopter...
