"Its believed the helicopter is linked to a company called The Helicopter Group" - Farq these talking heads are bright - wonder what gave that away - maybe the big logo on the side of the fuel tank
It was on a scheduled navigational training flight., Interesting, its come down on the same flightpath as the mid air collison between two fixed wings, what is it ten years ago and only yards from where they fell. I dont know why it was on that route, its not the normal approach for choppers. Choppers are usually a bit more to the s/w, to avoid the fixed wings operating in the circuit.
Hughes makes another helicopter type? A "296"... that would be a 350 7/8ths?

Interesting to see that two of the main rotor blades are intact and look almost undamaged.
A navex ending in a crashex...........
Two hour flight with 25 US Gallons fuel capacity....might be a clue.
Thought a `2-hour navex` in a 269 would be a `wide circuit`...
