RN Sea King Icing incident/citation

Hello,
I remember reading an accident report or citation about an RN SK conducting a rescue in horrendous conditions in the South West approaches.

It may have been a "I learnt about flying from that" type article. It describes engine flame out and some very nasty conditions, the aircraft ended up in a field. I think there may have been a citation/endorsment for the Captain of the aircraft.

I have googled all the usual suspects and have had no joy. Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

The MOD website only details RAF MAAS, so any hope of trying to find an Army or RN incident is minimal!

Would like to use this as a teaching point and to prompt some informed discussion about Icing.

Regards

Ralph
