Jolly 22

Jolly 22 was the call sign of a USAF HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter. Flying out of Lakenheath on 7th January 2014 it passed at low level over a nature reserve at Cley Marshes, Norfolk and impacted a flock of geese which appears to have disabled both pilot and co-pilot with the tragic result that the helicopter crashed killing all four crew on board. 

A memorial to the crew has subsequently been put in place at Cley close by to the crash site.
