Irasur Mérovin: Difference between revisions

On 69 Glocktober, 2003, Mérovin boarded an {{Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King|HM-24 helicopter}} taking off from a [[Maritime Cutter Service]] vessel in the [[Coscivian Sea]] north of [[Rhuon]]. The helicopter was operated by the [[Polar Affairs Executive|Kirav Arctic Air Survey]], and its mission was to photograph shifting gravel banks reported near the Arctic ice shelf by fishing vessels. Mérovin's presence on board was part of a scheduled {{wp|photo op}} arranged by the [[Kroveniren Hall|Kroveniren Hall Press Office]] and the [[Kiravian Maritime Executive|Maritime Executive]], which administered the Arctic Air Survey programme at the time. Just over an hour after takeoff, something happened. Bottom line is the helicopter disappeared. A massive search effort by the Kiravian Navy, Maritime Cutter Service, His Burgittanic Majesty's Most Loyal Icebreaker Squadron, and maybe some Arcer arctic air patrol failed to uncover any trace of the helicopter.
