Post; Two British Helicopters crash - 2 dead, 1 injured


The BBC are reporting the two helicopters that crashed in Iraq, killing two and seriously injuring another service person, were British Puma helicopters.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6557183.stm

Scuttlebutt has it that these aircraft were operating with the UK Special Forces Support Group, which operates in the area on a counter-insurgency mission, and the personnel killed and injured were a mix of SF and non SF personnel.

RIP.
