5:00Now PlayingA Royal Navy member who died when a helicopter ditched into the Channel was conducting a "dangerous" training operation that appears to have gone "horribly wrong", a former Royal Navy officer has told Sky News.
James Gater explains more about the training exercise and said: "conducting these kind of operations, whether in peacetime or wartime, is a dangerous evolution" but "the Royal Navy says it is ready to fight tonight" so they need to conduct training in "realistic scenarios".
He added: "I fear that this was just another training exercise that for reasons that we do not know yet went tragically wrong".
