The member of the Royal Navy who died after their Merlin helicopter ditched in the English Channel during a night-time training exercise has been named as Lieutenant Rhodri Leyshon.

Three Royal Navy personnel were carrying out night flying training in their Merlin Mk4 with the carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth when the aircraft came down.

The Ministry of Defence said 31-year-old Lt Leyshon was "one of the Commando Helicopter Force's most trusted and highly capable aircraft captains and instructors".
