Missing split pins ground Sea Kings
The Australian Navy has grounded all its six ageing Sea King helicopters after two split pins were found to be missing during a pre-flight inspection of a Sea King.

The navy said in a statement yesterday that the missing parts were "not critical to flight safety".

However, the Sea King squadron would be temporarily grounded as a precaution.
