Sea King mishap

Interesting video!

Definite signs of a slowing tail rotor just before the rotation begins. Can't help thinking that the RN method of approaching to establish a hover alongside the ship is much safer than this straight in method. Gives you a chance of a go around, and at worse a (maybe) softer crash landing in the oggin.

Hope this crew is OK
