Royal Navy Lynx down off Cornish coast
This should remind us of the risk we take as we do our best to help others. That to a large degree is what sets the helicopter industry apart from our fixed wing friends. So many of us on a daily basis put it all on the line to help others....and sometimes pay a dear price for that service.
Prayers for the crew and their loved ones.

Copied from link "majority of the aircraft's frame" had been found on the seabed...."
Fingers crossed, but that doesn't sound good.

Thoughts and prayers for the crew and their families, and also a heavy heart for all those involved in today's rescue mission. Must be really hard to cope with when it ends this way.

A truly sad sad day. Thoughts and prayers go to the friends and families of the guys. RIP.
God guard and guide us as we fly,
Through the great spaces of the sky,
Be with us as we take to air,
In morning light and sunshine fair.
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Give us courage and make us brave,
Protect us whereso'er we go,
From shell and flak and fire and foe.
Most loved member of our crew,
Ride with us up in the blue.
Direct our bombs upon the foe,
But shelter those whom thou dost know.
Keep us together on our way.
Grant our work success today.
Deliver us from hate and sin
And bring us safely down again.
O'God protect us as we fly,
Through lonely ways across the sky.

EDIT: Sorry! But I cannot allow those comments so soon after the event. There will time enough when the facts are known. But speculation is an untrained enemy.

Very sad turn of events for another courageous naval crew. i knew one of the guys involved and he will be sadly missed. my thoughts are with the families, their collegues at 815 and the crew of HMS Portland. It is a sad christmas for WAFUs.

"The cockpit was my office. It was a place where I experienced many emotions and learned many lessons. It was a place of work, but also a keeper of dreams. It was a place of deadly serious encounters, yet there I discovered much about life. I learned about joy and sorrow, pride and humility, and fear, and overcoming fear. I saw much from that office that most people would never see. At times it terrified me, yet I could always feel at home there... Though it was a place where I could quickly die, the cockpit was a place where I truly lived."
