BOEING CH-46E SEA KNIGHT HELICOPTER (REGISTRATION: 152579)
Eight British and four American troops died in a helicopter crash as the ground invasion of Iraq in the first Iraq war began.
The British troops from 3 Commando Brigade and US troops were killed when a US CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter crashed in Kuwait several miles south of the Iraqi border said US defence officials.

The crash was probably caused by the age of the aircraft, which had been service for almost 40 years.
The inlet guide veins on the turbine power plants where damaged from sand particals.
