The ban on Super Puma helicopters has been extended.

The European Aviation Safety Authority has grounded all 225s and the L2 model, following concerns raised by the team investigating the Norway crash in April.

They found metal fatigue in the gearbox - and they've warned there's no effective way to detect the fault before it's too late.

The North Sea's fleet of Super Pumas has already been grounded since the acccident.
