Looks like another police machine is down according to the first report posted by the Daily Telegraph but an update to this report a short while later says Humberside's Oscar 99 is not involved.

Helicopter IS NOT Oscar 99
 
The Telegraph link says it IS NOT a police helicopter

Indeed it now does say that. As explained from my edit above, the Telegraph has updated their first report and the new version is the one you are now seeing on the link.

Privately owned, flight originated from Scotland not Durham Tees Valley is previously reported.

Air Ambulance attended however, services were not required.

Very sad :-(

Simplythebeast 16th Sep 2014 16:57

Apparently flying from Edinburgh to 'an airfield near Retford'"

Edinburgh to Gamston for fuel and then onward to Manston apparently, but as Manston's closed I'd assume elsewhere.

RIP

RIP guys.........it was a pleasure to be of service to you. :{

Brilliant Stuff 16th Sep 2014 17:53

My condolences to the families.

Manson might be closed but you can still fly into it, get fuel and have your Bell helicopter serviced.....
