ANOTHER helicopter operating in the North Sea has been grounded after an alert on an oil rig, the Evening Express can reveal today.
The crew of the Bristow-operated Sikorsky S92 helicopter reported an error as it was about to lift off following a shift change on the Stena Don platform.
The grounding comes just days after four offshore workers lost their lives when a Super Puma helicopter crashed in the North Sea.
