On 13 August 1981, a Westland Wessex 60 was operated by Bristow Helicopters between the Bacton Gas Terminal in Norfolk and Amoco gas platforms in the North Sea. During the flight, the helicopter lost power to the main rotor gearbox, going out of control during the ensuing autorotation and crashing into the North Sea. The flight was carrying 11 gas workers from the Leman gas field to Bacton.
