intermediate gearbox decided to stop playing resulting in a stunning arrival at LZ!
The AS332 Super Pumas had overheat warnings for the inter and tailrotor gearboxes.

I wonder if Aerospatial knew about the problem already?

Was XW222 donated by Airbus helicopters? GTIGE, an ex Bristow 332L, which was traded in for a 225, fully serviceable but due for a Check 4 (the big one), was donated to the Helicopter Museum at Weston Super Mare.
