FileSwap.com : Lynx Widow Maker.mp4 download free


In Special Report: ‘The Widow Maker’, ITV Westcountry’s popular investigative current affairs series reveals a disturbing picture behind the safety record of Britain’s Lynx helicopter fleet – an aircraft dubbed by some pilots and families, as The Widow Maker.

During a three-month investigation, producer/director Ray Tostevin talked to aircrews and their families and leading aviation experts. One former Royal Navy Lynx pilot tells the programme he believes tail rotor failure was the most likely cause of a crash in which four Lynx crewmen died, when their aircraft went down off Cornwall, last December. The programme claims that the Lynx has more tail rotor failures than any other military helicopter operated by the Ministry of Defence, based on a damning report from the Civil Aviation Authority.
