| 13/02/2007 | ZH876 | 876 | Hercules C4 | LTW | During a nigh time landing at a makeshift landing zone 20km north of Al-Amarahin south-eastern Iraq it ran into a string of six bombs hung on fishing wire Four bombs exploded unleashing a hail of 20mm ball-bearings which riddled the fuselage. The plane was transporting 58 soldiers to Maysan province where British troops were deployed on long range patrols in the area bordering Iran. Amazingly only two soldiers were injured. The site was secured and after a thorough assessment of the damage it was concluded that the aircraft could not be recovered without exposing personnel to undue risk due to enemy activity in the area. The aircraft was therefore destroyed by British forces to prevent sensitive equipment getting into the hands of insurgents. A second Hercules landed to extricate the crew, the injured and others. The site was still being cleared and this second aircraft suffered damage to all tyres and the underside of the aircraft when it struck debris, but was able to take off |

It struck the ground hard during a vertical descent while in a dust cloud created by its own downdraft. It then began to move forward and rock from side to side so the pilot elected to take off. While in the dust cloud he became disorientated and the rotors struck the ground while in a right hand turn. The helicopter struck the ground and rolled onto its right hand side and quickly caught fire. Within four minutes it was engulfed by flames which also set off ammunition on board. The three crew members and all but two of the troops were able to evacuate, although some were seriously hurt. The two trapped in the wreckage were later found dead by the rescue crews |
