| | Iraq helicopter crash service personnel named infoWing Commander Coxen, from Royal Air Force Benson, Oxon, is the most senior British officer to be killed in Iraq. A British team is investigating whether the helicopter was shot down." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4983578.stm Very sad: I often see the helicopters operating out of RAF Benson flying overhead where I work. They use our offices as a nav point. Looks like their helicopter (reported earlier to be a Lynx) was hit by the burst from an RPG as it came into land, either a lucky shot or an exploit of the RPG-7 rocket's 4.5 sec / 920m self-detonation. RIP. |

RIP men, thanks.
