Reason I posted was because I thought one of the guys on here was on a Sqdn that flies those?

'Pringle' was due to do the rotary crewmans course there, I doubt if the Squirrel had anybody other than student pilot and instructor on board.
Great shame though, all the same.

Very sad indeed. I too know a few people going through there at the moment.

One from 660Sqn and the other from CFS(H) Sqn.


Condolences to all those affected. A horrible start to the new year.

Awful, just terrible. Working there a few years ago at CATCS, I remember watching those guys all the time. :crying:

I have some friends down at Shawbury and they are completely shocked and were close with all involved.

Thoughts are with all of Shawbury and Ternhill.

Aye Trevs right, twas me. Am safe though (As earlier postings would show!). Trevs correct, us Crewmen don't use the Squirrel.
