I see on Look North Today they had a feature on a Apache that
made a emergency landing near Sleaford
Does anyone know exactly where and what was the Serial No.

Thanks in Advance

There are few posts on twitter from the army air corps of it, it's apparently near helpringham. It's tied down very securely with the weather forecast. Engineers will be looking at it once the wind has died down.
It's of course under 24hr guard. There are some photos on the WAVE group on Facebook but none are clear enough to be able to read the serial.

It looks to be sinking.

Believe it may be ZJ230 which was at Otterburn last week

It was ZJ230, just south of Heckington, a field near Helpringham.

On Helpringham /Donnington road

Techies have told a local it has major hydraulic issues so cannot be repaired in situ, it will now be dismantled in the field and transported back to Wattisham.

Recovery back to Wattisham is well underway, the rotor blades have been removed and a metal surface have been laid onto the field to assist matters.

A tweet from the AAC at the weekend said it had hydraulic fluid down the side of it
