Post Sea King 'crash on deck'

Full details of today's Sea King crash are on http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2465703.stm

If it was 848 Sqn (used to be 707 sqn), it was a Mk 4 Sea King with a crew of 2 pilots and an Aircrewman.

ZD982 Chinook HC2 brought in Sea King HC4 ZF123/ZQ of 848NAS which was the one involved in the accident onboard RFA Arus on the 13th.
