Description

On 7 January 2014, a United States Air Force Sikorsky HH-60 Pave Hawk (HH-60G) crashed into a shingle bank of the Cley Marshes near the village of Cley next the Sea in Norfolk, England. The aircraft crashed at 7:00 pm during a low level training mission. Its two pilots, engineer and gunner all died in the crash. No one on the ground was killed or injured. The wreckage was widely dispersed. The aircraft was based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk. Another USAF HH-60 that was on the same training mission landed nearby to assist and remained at the site. It was confirmed that one of the helicopters from the 56th Rescue Squadron, 48th Fighter Wing had crashed in the UK. A 400-metre cordon was put in place due to live ammunition aboard the helicopter.
