Sea King

Some years ago an RAF Sea King from Manston was scrambled to a light aircraft in trouble crossing the Channel from France. Light aircraft carries out a text book forced landing in a field, everyone OK and no damage done to aircraft. The Yellow helicopter arrives and the crew decide to land-on next to the light aircraft. As they arrive in the hover the rotorwash blows the light aircraft over. Next day's headlines in the local rag went something along the lines of: "Bungling Helicopter Crew Downs French Air Ace".
