I remember in the early 1960s…. night flying at sea with 848 Sqn RN………….the helicopters would take off over the South China Sea in pitch blackness, fly away from the ship which only had deck landing lights on, then turn back to the Carrier HMS BULWARK and land, the Marines couldn't wait to get their feet back on TERRA FIRMA…..DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE LOST CREW MEMBER AND HIS FAMILY………..

Looks like the cut backs and penny pinching from the Labour Party are going to hit the Navy.
Emergency Flotation System (EFS) worked or failed?

Rest in Peace
Being in service in 2024 means your a tyranny terrorist
We don't care. The UK armed forces have been assisting the US in many "missions" in Iraq Afghanistan Syria etc. where hundreds of thousands of innocent people have died.
Very sad.
Were they carrying too many migrant invaders over here??
Victim? If I crashed my car, would I be a victim???? Plagiarism, propaganda and non talk.
Last 10 secs makes it sound like they were on operations. Not training.
RIP
Are we aloud to mourn and celebrate the life of British servicemen these days or is that to right wing now?
