Comments
Lead - " in the Atlantic Ocean, when en route" - Should this be "while en route"?
 * Yup, changed. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

"when the Boeing 234LR Chinook" - "When a Boeing ..."? The current wording implies that there was only one Boeing 234LR Chinook. (Unless, of course, 234LR is a callsign, in which case the is correct).
 * Sort of; you are cutting it off too early: "the Boeing 234LR Chinook helicopter G-BWFC" is the one helicopter in question. It's just the same as saying "the politician Bernie Sanders". Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Infobox - What does ... next to the injuries signify?
 * Never in the whole time that I have worked on this article have I noticed that. Removed it. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Background - Wikilink certificate of airworthiness.
 * Done. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Flight - "The actual visibility recorded at St Mary's aerodrome" - Should aerodrome be capitalized here, like previously?
 * Capitalised for consistency. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

"that Delta Alpha had landed, and flown the entire journey according " - Is this comma necessary?
 * Removed. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

"and as they passed by Longships Lighthouse ... hey recorded visibility" - The subject is the helicopter. Either the crew or something along those lines needs to be inserted to become the subject, or a change to it is probably in order.
 * Reworded. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Rescue - The lifeboat's a redlink. Is it likely that this thing will pass GNG? If not, maybe the links should be removed.
 * Yeah, probably not. Delinked both. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Wikilink MP, this isn't particularly obvious from a non-UK perspective.
 * Linked on first use. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Recovery Should Falmouth be wikilinked? Not everyone's gonna now where Falmouth is in relation to the accident (I don't, at least).
 * Yes, linked. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Investigation - Parliament should be capitalized, right?
 * Yes, linked. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

You talk about Hughes, the Labour MP, should the Labour Party be wikilinked to? Sort of like in the US referring to so-and-so, a Republican congressman?
 * Yes, linked. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

"involving Sikorsky S-61" - Is this quite right? My instincts say either making Sikorsky S-61 plural, or stating "the Sikorsky S-61". I might be wrong, though.
 * Yes, added "the". Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Would it be off-topic to state if the pilot, Lawlor, lost his pilot's license or not?
 * There's nothing verifiable that says one way or the other. He flies now, but I can't tell you for sure if he continued flying throughout, or had to stop and redo a course, or anything like that. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Does the definition of ditching in the notes need a citation?
 * It is essentially just a convenience note; it is a non-controversial factual definition, I don't think a citation is necessary. I could add one easily enough if you disagree. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

The refs all look reliable, and the fair-use rationale on the retrieval picture is proper.

That's it, pinging nominator,. Hog Farm (talk) 21:25, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review; I have responded to each point above. Harrias  talk 22:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * - All concerns satisfactorily addressed, passing for GA status. (I'm fine with the ditching definition being considered uncontroversial, a FA review might flag that, though). Hog Farm (talk) 22:20, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
