The remaining eight bodies from last week's North Sea helicopter crash have been brought back to port

Divers found the missing men on Sunday along with the wreckage of the aircraft and its black box recorder, which experts are examining to find out what caused the crash.

The salvage vessel Bibby Topaz berthed in Aberdeen Harbour with the bodies and parts of the wreckage shortly before 1am.

Air accident investigators have taken the black box recorder to Farnborough for examination.

Specialist diving teams had been working at the scene since Saturday afternoon trying to locate the missing victims and wreckage.

The Super Puma helicopter came down on Wednesday April 1, killing 14 passengers and two crew as the aircraft returned from a BP oil platform. Eight bodies were recovered in the immediate aftermath of the accident. The helicopter had been returning from BP's Miller oil platform when it crashed about 15 miles off Peterhead.

As well as the captain and co-pilot, Paul Burnham, 31, and Richard Menzies, 24, the other missing men were Nolan Carl Goble, 34, of Norwich, Gareth Hughes, 53, of Angus, David Rae, 63, of Dumfries and Leslie Taylor, 41, of Kintore, Aberdeenshire, along with James Costello, 24, from Aberdeen, who worked for contractor PSN, and Alex Dallas, 62, also from Aberdeen.

Police already identified the other eight bodies recovered.

They were Brian Barkley, 30, of Aberdeen; James Edwards, 33, of Liverpool; Vernon Elrick, 41, of Aberdeen; and Mihails Zuravskis, 39, from Latvia, were all identified on Saturday. All four men were employed by KCA Deutag.

Raymond Doyle, 57, from Cumbernauld; Nairn Ferrier, 40, from Dundee; Warren Mitchell, 38, of Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, and Stuart Wood, 27, from Aberdeen, also died.

During a service yesterday at Aberdeen's Kirk of St Nicholas, Rev Andrew Jolly, chaplain to the UK Oil and Gas Industry, spoke of the tragedy.

He said: "For many, today is a day of sorrow and pain. The UK Oil and Gas Industry grieves for those who perished offshore and for their families.

"We cannot begin to imagine the pain and sorrow their loved ones feel at their loss.

"The offshore world is a big industry but a small family. When any tragedy strikes, it is felt by all those who work offshore and onshore.

"This great city of Aberdeen has taken this industry to its heart and has stood in silence and shared its sorrow and pain over the years."
