bid for extra helicopter crash funds refused  The Super Puma
before it crashed [Pic: Gareth Falls] The helicopter crashed
into the North Sea last April  Grampian Police has been refused
extra money to pay for the operation which followed a helicopter
crash which claimed the lives of 16 men.  The force said the
operation, after a Super Puma crashed in the North Sea last
April, cost more than £200,000 through overtime for officers.
However, the Scottish government said it expected forces to meet
such costs from existing resources.  The 16 men who died were
called "heroes" at a memorial service.  Print Sponsor  The BBC
