Helicentre crash
The most recent similar occurrence was at RAF Shawbury when a refresher student actually did the full shutdown drills on a 412 during a PFL and the instructor found himself heading for rural Shropshire with no engines.
A great effort to get both re-started in time to go around but something of a learning process for all involved.

Weren't all students ex-Wessex in those days since it was the training aircraft at Shawbury?
The incident Crab refers to actually happened at Valley and only one engine was re-lit to allow a fly out. Good drills indeed by the captain but he nearly lost his job by how it all happened in the first place.
Good point Myra, I had it in my mind it was Shawbury but given the QHI involved, Valley makes more sense.
It would have helped if he had reported in when he landed and signed in
