Seaking at Lossie

Anyone any news on the heavy landing at Lossie by one of the SAR cabs. Hope all ok but just had a garbled message from a mate on the phone and cant ring him back.

Engine failure in a 30' hover taxi, I gather. Aircraft in one piece, possible MRGB rejection. Lots of worse places it could have happened (flight profiles not locations)

Glad they are all OK.
Remember the "advanced single engine" exercise? - great fun!

Wasn't even a heavy landing, just a slightly faster than normal descent from the hover.

Both pilots managed to get the "Torque split, landing" war cry out before the touchdown!
