The Hughes 269 G-AXXD was on contract with the Metropolitan Police when it stalled into the Thames whilst making a hurried exit from Battersea because Ted Heath [the Prime Minister] was coming into land at the heliport. No significant injuries involved.

There was never a specific report on the type the PM was travelling in so perhaps it was the Wessex?
