RAF Puma?

No pretty sure its the Puma, maybe its the Super Puma, what oil workers use to go from land to their rigs.

Ahh here we are 18 survive UK Helicopter crash: Super Pumas can float

The helicopter managed to land in the water upright and stayed afloat due to a safety feature that deploys inflatable bags when a Super Puma lands on water.

Lift bags are a safety feature for many helicopters, but the Super Puma does not have the "boat hull fuselage" of the H-3 Sea Kings/Jolly Green Giants. They can make water landings with or without the assistance of flotation bags, depending on water conditions (except for the civil models). The fact that they have been around for so long (almost 50 years!) as naval and/or SAR helicopters is no doubt due in part to this capability.
