S61 crash
Any updates on the S61 crash off the back of a frigate on 1.5.02?
I've used NL's shortcut to the video clip (hope you don't mind Nick)

You'll need Real Player to view.
Info would be appreciated....

Sea King mishap
Interesting video!
Definite signs of a slowing tail rotor just before the rotation begins. Can't help thinking that the RN method of approaching to establish a hover alongside the ship is much safer than this straight in method. Gives you a chance of a go around, and at worse a (maybe) softer crash landing in the oggin.
Hope this crew is OK

Flight Deck Accident
Looks to me to be an H3 derivative operating to a helideck with US style markings and NATOPS approach technique: possibly operated by a non-US Navy, maybe S. American ? Are those RAST tracks ?. I'll ferret around to try and ID the ship type.
Hope the crew got out OK.
