Vie sans frontieres
Here are some sobering statistics for you.
UKDS 2005 - Chapter 4 - Aircraft Losses, Casualties and Flying Hours
42-Sea King Mk 1/2/5/6/72 lost from 1969 to 2004
63-Gazelle AH1 lost from 1973 to 2004
etc.....
These are accidents that happened after the aircrew had taken responsibility for the aircraft. They include accidents during military operations, but exclude aircraft losses caused by ‘hostile action’
