Similarly, the fatal Wessex night crash at Forkhill, where the pilot became disorientated and the aircraft drifted into the radio mast and rolled down the hill.

Or the Puma in Rhodesia which fatally crashed after hitting a low slung power cable (18 feet agl estimated by the BOI) with the rotor mast, which sits 16 feet up.

Both also in operational theatres.
