230Sqn John Sankey

John was a crewman on 230Sqn early to mid 70's. His son has asked me to investigate an incident he was involved in, with a Puma force landing in France. My understanding was they took off from Cognac and shortly afterwards they made a forced landing near Rochefort, Charente-Maritime.
I seem to remember the incident and think the crew were interrogated by the Gendarmes as they made an unauthorised landing. After release they spent a week in a local pension.
If anyone knows more and especially where the incident took place as his son wishes to visit the location and stay in the pension.

Many thanks
