Are either of these two aircraft and the related incidents connected to the event you are referring to by chance?

July 16 crash of a Bristow Sikorsky S-76A+ (G-BJVX)
The rotor blade was manufactured in March 1981. In 1999, while fitted to another S-76A (G-BHBF), it was damaged in a lightning strike.
