A British Army Gazelle has crashed in N.Ireland killing both crew. The cause of the accident is unknown, but terrorism has been ruled out.
My sympathies go out to their families Sad

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Very sad when anything like this happens. Especially just before Christmas. Cry

PS. I never did like helicopters & have no ambition to set foot in one. With all that stuff whirling round they're an accident waiting to happen. I've seen far too many unexplained incidents like this.
