"With the helicopter running low on fuel and the nearest airfield, Duxford, very busy with airshow traffic, the pilot elected to divert to Old Warden rather than declare a fuel emergency. Three miles out, the helicopter ran out of fuel and made a forced landing. There were no injuries and the helicopter suffered minor structural damage".
