Background
Might be worth noting this type of helicopter's safety record at the time, as well as the British Airways Helicopters safety record? Would add some helpful context.
Outsider to aviation accident GA nominations here, but perhaps it would be useful to indicate the average operational lifespan of an S-61?
"Oscar November was one of two flights scheduled to fly from Penzance to the Isles of Scilly" - departure and destination airfields would be helpful here in the prose, even though one is named in image.
The background section could also do with some minor explanation on the nature of the flight. Currently it only lists the provenance and the destination by nothing on why this flight occured. Then later two child survivors are mentioned but nothing about why they were being transported with the helicopter.

Investigation
Some switching between S-61 and S61 in this section on references.
"Initial speculation in the press..." - which media outlets?
"Lynda King Taylor, a reporter who flew over to the Isles of Scilly in the days after..." this sentence needs a bit more context. Did she fly in an S-61 as well? Was it a British Airways flight? Does help to have British Airways contest the allegations, but the implication with the current wording is that these were similar circumstances in the flight itself and it should be clear.
"The AIB investigation was carried out by D. A. Cooper. " - Any details on who that is? An AIB investigator?
Again here, I think a subsequent look at the safety record of the S-61 would be useful, if not to reinforce the pilot error cause in the accident.
Did the pilots continue to fly? Any word on what became of the passengers?
Any policy or business changes from British Airways?
Thanks for the review
Ed! I'm swamped at work at the moment, so am struggling to find time for this. I won't be offended if you feel the need to close it down, but I'm hoping to get to it in the next few days.

@
Ed!: Sadly, I don't think I'm going to be able to give this any time in a hurry. I'll use your pointers to work on it when I'm around again, but for the moment I'm not going to be able to make the suggested improvements to reach the GA criteria I'm afraid.
