The funeral of a Scots oil worker killed when his helicopter crashed in Norway will be held later this week.

Iain Stuart, 41, from Laurencekirk in Aberdeenshire, was among 13 men who died when the Super Puma went down near Bergen on April 29.

Air accident investigators believe a technical fault caused the crash, which happened after the helicopter's rotor blades detached in mid-air.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has ordered checks on all EC225 Super Pumas before they are allowed to fly but a Civil Aviation Authority travel ban remains in place in the UK.

Mr Stuart's funeral will be held at Laurencekirk Parish Church before he is laid to rest at Laurencekirk Cemetery on Friday afternoon.

Helicopter wreckage recovered from the sea off Norway has been taken to the Accident Investigation Board Norway's (AIBN) base at Lillestøm, but some parts remain missing.

EASA said it believes the helicopter's blades came off when the main rotor hub detached from its gearbox.

It emerged after the crash that operator CHC had changed components on the helicopter a few days earlier after a warning light had gone off.

Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority legal adviser Hege Aalstad said the helicopter had both its gearbox and rotor head replaced in the months before the crash.
