Heli ditch North Sea G-REDL: NOT condolences
 

Just saw on news another helicopter ditched North East of Peterhead. 16 on board. Any confirmation on this? God speed

Just been reported on Sky News, no other info at present. :(

I believe its Bond,hope all are ok

SKY news says 35 miles north east of Peterhead, confirmed 16 on board, Bond helicopter!! Coastguard is underway.

Good luck guys

Good luck boys and girls, hope all are O.K.
With any luck it's good weather and daylight allowing a very high prospect of 100% recovery of all passengers safely.

Apparently a Bond flight, 16 souls on board, a supply vessel is first to arrive on site.

Good luck to all involved

The lack of news is a 'telling tale':uhoh: Up to 20 onboard (according to BBC) Initial report 16 POB.

This is a very tragic day I'm afraid....

Inside knowledge....Not jumping to conclusions: Van Horck

Ditching only happened just after 2pm local apparantly.

Supply vessels, fishermen and helicopters on the scene

Let s not jump to conclusions, please

Link shows ships making towards.You can refresh it and clicking on the ships shows speed/course etc.

BBC claims Bond have confirmed it IS one of theirs. 30miles NE of Peterhead. No Mayday calls. Fast rescue from Supply Vessel nearby was first on scene. And now 2 RAF Heli and a Nimrod is on scene.

30 miles NE they will probably have been on Radar already, which will help expeditiously pinpoint their location. Best of luck to the crew!!

Best of luck to the crew!!
 

And everyone else on board!!!:bored:

Another Helicopter down in North Sea

Hope everybody is ok

Incident is reported to have happened at approx 14:00

Looking at Bond's "live flight centre" they had a departure, 82Y, to the Paul B. Lloyd Jr at 13:59, and a flight 85N due back from the Miller, ETA in ABZ 14:15.
The Miller flight status is "not arrived"

Not jumping to conclusions here, just stating what's listed!

Again, my wishes for a speedy & full recovery.

Flight info here

Bond Offshore Flight Centre
85N could well be the one, from the Miller (BP)
(Edit: Arrival information now removed from the website)

Vigilant rescue vessel has turned back, Caledonian Victory, North Fortune and Normand Aurora on the Scene

85N IS the one from the Miller.

But we should remember it could be late back for any number of reasons, & not jump to conclusions it's this flight which has suffered an incident.

Although, if it IS confirmed to be a Bond flight, it seems most likely to be this one.

Heres hoping for a good outcome, fingers crossed.

My first reactions was that this was a nasty Aprils fools joke but unfortunately its not, best of luck to all involved for a safe return

What to say, another in so short a time. Hope all are ok and return to loved ones. O
