While en route from the Rashid Oil field and flying at 2000 feet, there was a sudden bang and the helicopter became difficult to control. The pilot attempted an immediate forced landing in the sea but the helicopter turned over on touchdown. When the wreckage was subsequently recovered the entire tail rotor assembly was apparently missing.
