An enquiry into an airprox between a Tornado and a Puma operating to oil rigs found that they were 50-100′ apart when the RAF pilot pulled a tight turn to avoid the helicopter. Each was talking to a separate ATC controller who were unaware of the others presence!

But are they not reporting an Airprox Board Investigation?
