A helicopter crash which killed its co-pilot and 15 other men could have been prevented, an inquest has found.
Richard Menzies, 24, from Droitwich Spa, was on board the Bond Super Puma when it crashed into the North Sea, killing all those on board.
Worcestershire Coroner Geraint Williams said the April 2009 crash, off Peterhead, came after a "catastrophic" gearbox failure.
He echoed an earlier inquiry which found proper checks were not performed.
'Significant fault'
Returning a narrative verdict, Mr Williams identified "a number of failures" in the helicopter's maintenance programme.
