Military 'submarine hunter' helicopter spotted flying over Worcester
A military helicopter of a type used by the navy to hunt submarines has been spotted flying over Worcester. The AgustaWestland Merlin HC4 was spotted flying over the east side of Worcester in a southerly direction, running roughly parallel to the M5 towards Bristol. The helicopter was spotted over Worcester at around 10.20am this morning, heading from RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire. The Royal Navy has two types of Merlin helicopter, the mark-2 (Mk2) and the mark-4 (Mk4). A spokesperson said: "The Mk2 is principally an anti-submarine warfare helicopter although this versatile aircraft can also provide other roles, such as search and rescue, cargo transfers and maritime patrol. "The crews' training and kit makes the Merlin Helicopter Force one of the best submarine hunters in the world. The Mk2 can also be converted to airborne surveillance and control with the addition of a powerful exterior-mounted radar."

Army lacks accountability in DC air disaster, families say
The Army has avoided accountability and shirked oversight months after the deadly midair collision between a passenger jet and a military helicopter in Washington, dozens of family members said in a letter to the Army's top official, calling for action and greater transparency. Family members have praised lawmakers, the National Transportation Safety Board and Department of Transportation in their assessment of 'urgency and effectiveness of the response' of officials involved in probing the disaster, which killed 67 people in January when American Eagle 5342 collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River on final approach to Reagan National Airport.
