  • The edge of the sky is a very exhilerating place to be until you start encroaching on the edge of the terrain.

  • Sounds like they got there low altitude alert.
    They also got a "Master Caution".
    It's ok to laff it up but you can't over fly the helo.
    Sounds as if they were over stressing the transmission with very aggressive pitch movements.
    Note the very loud rotor pop...Just after the "MC" warning..

  • The CVR audio is real except for the last part. The audio on the vid was from an early sortie in the day prior to the helicopter crashing later on. Just go to the BBC website and search 'puma crash catterick' if you want the genuine story on the accident.
