Glad the crew are safe.
The yellow Seaking at Lossiemouth had a very heavy landing and they literally stapled the tail boom back on again. Must be built like a tank and keeps on flying.

Images of the recovery effort have appeared on Facebook with one witness quoted as saying those involved are "lucky to be alive".
One Facebook user, Claire Worth, said: "My husband witnessed it as it was his squadron. It was a Sea King and those lads are lucky to be alive."
