Helicopters In Tow

This 206 autorotated into a field on the outskirts of Brussels during the summer of '96 as a result of fuel starvation! In concluding the auto the tail was severed. The craft was evidently repaired but went on to suffer a further crash resulting in a total write-off.

This RAF-king was towed from Mt. Pleasant Airport to Mare Harbour where she was loaded aboard a ship to be returned to the UK for servicing.
