I am surprized that no one has referenced the installation of the ventral fin on the Super Puma (all variants) as compared to the standard Puma without the fin.

This was to counteract the D/R characteristics which existed on the standard Puma and could certainly be felt in cruise (fishtailing) when occupying the most rearward seats.
