Puma Incedent Stanford Training Area
Evening gents,
A quick question if anyone can help?
Does anyone remember an incedent involving a Puma about 1988 - 89 on Stanford Training Area?
I was there with some officer cadets on a night ex and a "No Duff" call came over the net
A T.A. Major had fell out off a Puma whilst it was about 200 feet up
Apparently it had came into the hover and the loady opened the door to look out as they do
The Major thought the aircraft had landed (it was pitch black outside) stood up passed the loady and jumped out
He was killed
I was talking to someone on another site who was on an OP and they thought someone had dropped a bergan from the Puma
IIRC no blame was attched to the crew of the Puma
Does anyone have anymore details and the name of the Major as someone from I know is doing some research on the incedent
