Loads of terrible stories coming out of Helmand province and we witness the aftermath on an almost daily basis with the funerals back home here in England. Yesterday we lost a Chinook Helicopter that was part of a two ship formation on a Special Forces mission. They initially flew this machine away from the area where they were hit and force landed in a relatively safer zone and were picked up by the second Chinook. They then directed an attack on their own stricken machine to completely destroy it. The skipper in the second Chinook was a son of a very special friend of ours and they were taking a load of fire directed on their helicopter while they were co-operating and then extracting the stricken crew.
