 On the 14th September a crew man was injured on the seismic vessel Baffin Seal. The crew of Baffin Seal contacted the 'flotel' Treasure Finder, which also houses the Brent area's hospital facilities. A Bell 212 helicopter took off from Treasure Finder with a pilot, co-pilot, winch operator, winchman, doctor and medic. Contact with the helicopter was lost some 29 minutes later. The helicopter had crashed into the sea killing all six occupants.

 G-BDIL was one of a unit of four Bell 212 helicopters normally based on the Treasure Finder semi-submersible accommodation rig in the Brent Field. The aircraft were used in support of the offshore installations for inter-rig transport of personnel and freight and were also capable of providing emergency rescue coverage for the area. The normal offshore pilot complement of the unit was 14 of which four were qualified as night Search and Rescue (SAR) captains. A similar number of pilots were on shore.
