Narrative:
Following a loss of engine power, an Agusta-Bell 206B JetRanger II sustained substantial damage in a forced landing on the Fitties Beach, Humberston, near Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire. The three people onboard were uninjured.

A Maritime and Coastguard Agency spokesperson said:

"At just after 2.30pm today - Friday October, 15 - a Humber Coastguard received a report that a light aircraft with three people onboard was forced to make an emergency landing at Cleethorpes Beach, near Grimsby in North East Lincolnshire. All three people onboard the aircraft have been reported safe and well, and arrangements are being made to recover the aircraft. Cleethorpes Coastguard Rescue Team and Humberside Fire and Rescue Service are present at the scene."

The main visible damage to the helicopter was a broken tail boom. By 16:45 recovery efforts were underway, and the helicopter was towed away by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency on the back of a trailer by 17:20 LT

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
