medals for f-ups .... ?
The first Wessex ......lost his bearing in the snow and crashed

the (second) Wessex 5 flared violently and struck the top of the ridge

..... a break in the weather. An hour later an opportunity presented itself and the Wessex 3 flew back, embarked the survivors......

........ awarded the DSO. 'You Brits' crack me up!!

Tea and Medals anyone?

I know - it's all pretty impressive when you've got only 900 hrs - 'the kids today!'

Wouldn't most people be embarrassed about that sort of screw-up?
Maybe doing something wrong?

(big fan of Wessex btw - how does it's performance/cost compare with a Lynx?)
