North Sea helicopter crash: Super Puma returned to base twice due to safety alert

A helicopter that crashed in Norway killing 13 people had to return to base twice in the days before the tragedy after a warning light was triggered.

Helicopter operator CHC has confirmed the Super Puma had to retrun to Bergen last Tuesday when the pilot spotted the indication light.

After a part was replaced, a test flight the following day was also aborted and another component changed when the light reappeared.
