The Royal Navy serviceman who died when a Merlin helicopter ditched in the Channel during a training exercise has been named as Lieutenant Rhodri Leyshon, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said.
There were three crew members on board at the time of the incident and two of them were rescued and taken to hospital, according to the MoD.
The helicopter crashed off the coast of Dorset on Wednesday night during the training exercise with the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, according to the Royal Navy.
An investigation into what caused the aircraft to ditch is ongoing.
