North Sea Aircraft Loses Wheel ?

Was there a report on the news at 6 PM on 1st Dec regarding a North Sea Helicopter losing a wheel whilst in Flight ? Heard there was but can't find any info on it ?

It was a Tiger, landed safely at Scatsta with just the two crew on board. One off the nose wheels fell off, after it lifted from the rig. It had been offshore overnight, and presumable tied down around the front wheels

Bit of a bad spell for the North Sea/Puma community recently!!

Glad to hear that everyone was O.K though.
