maybe the "soft" and newly cultivated field was a bonus feature....skids look either flattened or gone under the soil. Either way, glad the guys are walking away to base for tea and stickies.

Coley.

That'll teach them to smoke in the cockpit.

You´ll find links and pictures at the "Flugzeugforum", although to be able to view the pics you´ll need an account.

Absturz eines Lynx in der Nähe von Halle (http://www.flugzeugforum.de/forum/showthread.php?68148-Absturz-eines-Lynx-in-der-N%E4he-von-Halle)

Quick summary: The helicopter was reported to be flying over the city of Halle and then force-landing at the field. Thereafter the wreckage started burning.
The crew escaped with minor injuries.
Rumor: Hydraulic leak. I cannot verify that however.
