I do appreciate the emphasis of Old Duffer's post is to remember those lost in RAF helicopter accidents in the Borneo confrontation but sadly the Fleet Air Arm also had its share of fatal accidents out there - my own remembrance is of John Morgan (Hiller 12E) on 9/4/65, and three days later Rod Robertson and John Hapgood plus six others were killed in a Wessex mid air collision as they approached Nanga Gaat. The surviving aircrewman, Ted Crispin, passed away recently. All the aircrew were from 845 Naval Air Squadron. Bruce Brown and three other aircrew lost their lives there the following December.
