FEMALE PILOT INVOLVED IN DEADLY ROYAL NAVY HELICOPTER CRASH

Neokrat, if it stands for anything, stands for raising awareness of the terrible dangers of employing females in challenging male roles, like flying helicopters at night in poor weather.

This is because the empirical evidence stubbornly suggests that this kind of gender blindness drastically increases the chances of something bad happening.

Meanwhile the "institutional political correctness" of the organisations involved means that they invariable brush any inconvenient facts under the carpet.

In the latest example of a woman pressed into a challenging male role leading to disaster, a £40-million pound Royal Navy Merlin Mk4 helicopter crashed into a field in Sourton Down, Devon, England, during a training exercise in the early hours of 3 June 2026. 

Killed in the crash were Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson, 42, from Somerset, Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher, 31, from Surrey, and Petty Officer Owen Green, 24, from Hampshire. Although cockpit roles have suspiciously not been released, other information from the Royal Navy makes it almost certain that the crash occurred with Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher at the controls. 

Petty Officer Owen Green was not trained as a pilot, while Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson was there in an "assessing role." Meanwhile, according to the Royal Navy article, Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher "was tragically killed in a helicopter incident on her final assessment of flying training and was due to be awarded her Pilot’s Wings in June 2026."

The only conclusion to draw from this is that Fisher was at the actual controls when the copter crashed.

Sadly, due to "institutional wokeness," the armed forces in Western liberal democracies routinely insist on treating women like men, despite the fact that this repeatedly leads to tragic and humiliating accidents. 

Last year there was the case of Captain Rebecca Lobach (above), who piloted a $10-million Blackhawk helicopter an American Eagle Flight near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. All 67 people aboard the helicopter and airplane died in the crash.

But it is not just helicopters. In 2024, there was the demoralising case of the New Zealand Navy ship Manawanui, which went down after Commander Yvonne Gray (below) pranged it right into a reef off the coast of Samoa. This was despite the fact that it was a newly upgraded hydrographic survey, salvage, and support ship, with complex sensory equipment.  Rather than going down with her ship, she then insisted on being rescued by men.

In neither of the reports following these horrendous incidents did investigators make any mention of the differences in spatial sense in men or women, or whether either of these ladies were "on the rag" at the time of their cataclysmic misjudgments. In the modern woke West these are questions that one is simply not allowed ask. How many more lives must be sacrificed on the alter of gender blindness before this madness ends?
