Norsk Super Puma down on tanker!
Hearing something (hopefully someone will confirm!) about a Norsk Supa Puma (MK2) giving out a mayday, intending to set down on the sea, then seeing an oil tanker and setting down on it! Understand a ballast weight flew off and embedded in the main rotor, which obviously caused severe vibration, severe enough to warrant a ditching.
