Wessex crash 2001?

While reading the BBC coverage (here: BBC NEWS | Scotland | North East/N Isles | Human cost of the North Sea boom) of yesterdays tragedy off Aberdeen, I noticed this little snippet about halfway down:

Thirteen men died when a twin-engined Wessex helicopter crashed into the North Sea off the Norfolk coast in August 2001.
I can find no reference to it anywhere, I have searched the AAIB archives, Googled it etc but nothing. 13 died in a Wessex off Bacton in 1981, but that is referenced a few paras earlier.

Anyone give me any clues, or is it simply the usual high standard of reporting?
