Two of the Taipan helicopter crew suffered minor injuries in crash off NSW during a counter-terror exercise
“All 10 Australian defence force personnel on board the aircraft have been recovered and accounted for and are being assessed by medical personnel at HMAS Creswell, south of Nowra, NSW,” an ADF statement said.“Tonight quick responses from ADF personnel and emergency services and well drilled teams prevented a potential tragedy,” Stuart said.
“We will conduct a thorough investigation into this incident to determine the cause and ensure the platform remains safe to operate.” The ADF has temporarily paused the training activity and will ground the MRH-90 Taipan fleet while the cause of the incident is investigated.Topics
