Question

On March 11, 2002, about 1830 local time, an S-76C+, operated by WCS/Royal Travel Office, G-XXEZ, sustained a hard landing at Blackbushe Airport (EGLK), United Kingdom. The tailboom was reported buckled as a result of the landing. The helicopter was being operated in rejected takeoff and other procedures training, in night visual meteorological conditions under the authority of the Civil Aviation Authority, United Kingdom. . .. .Sikorsky Aircraft sent a senior test pilot to assist the Investigator-in-Charge (IIC), Aircraft Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB), UK.. .. .Perchance this explains Nicks' presense in the UK
