Photographer's remark

The crew of the helicopter carried out a controlled ditching about 30 miles off the Fair Isle while on an oil related flight 22 Oct 12, following indications of a failure of the main gearbox lubrication system and, subsequently, a warning indicating failure of the emergency lubrication system. All 19 passengers and crew evacuated the helicopter and were subsequently rescued without injury. This was the fourth Super Puma to ditch into the sea.
