Ditched in the North Sea after hydraulic fire. While returning from the Netherlands, the crew were asked to locate a Jaguar which had crashed in The Wash off the coast of Norfolk the previous day. They brought their helicopter down into a hover and lowered their sonar into the water, to locate the aircraft’s emergency beacon. It was then that a hydraulic leak caused a fire.
